Not sure yet.... I may try two dampers in series. One did not seem to seem to have much effect, but it did not seal very well either.the restrictor plate is an interesting idea
what are your thoughts
Splitting: Not me. I got 4 years worth of red oak cut, split stacked and under cover. ~20 cord. All set for now.
Glass: Running with really low air like you do my glass gets coked up pretty bad and it does not burn off on a reload, maybe it does a little bit.
Interesting burn last night:
- Half load with some bigger splits, started from cold.
- Cat engaged at flue gas temps = 550, 100% air
- reduced air in increments at 600, 1050, full closed air 1400
- Cat went to 1575, opened the damper and let the stove heat up in bypass for 10 min
- Re-enagaged cat, set air to 10% open. Temps were pretty stable.
A bad start but other than that a good burn I think. Other than glass being coked up....
Notice my griddle temps barely broke 400 the whole time.
