Just wanted to say hello. New to the site. I found this site when searching the interwebs on information about my wood burning stove. After some sleuthing....by sleuthing, I mean looking at the manufacturer plate on the pedestal, I found I have two Fisher Honey Bear models in my home. I bought this home 6 years ago and the stoves were installed brand new in 1982 when the house was built.
I am complete newbie, even after 6 years of owning these things and realizing there is more to them then chucking some wood in them and heating your home.
I have seen various setups online, and was curious about the best way to operate these little stoves. Any pointers? I dont have any dampners in my chimney at all. The only control I have are the two air inlets on the stove itself, which from what I have read here, one is for throttling air for burning and the other is to keep smoke off the glass...
I just want to get this thing to burn as efficiently as possible. Pay no attention to those cobwebs.....
