I am new to wood burning stoves. I have had fire places in the past but more or less just to have a fire, not heat the house. We recently just built a house and had a Lopi Endeavor installed. Cranked it up for the first time this year...gonna get down to a whopping 28 degrees tonight. That's cold for Texas. Anyways my question is I have an abundant supply of mesquite and wondering if it is ok to burn in stove? I have heard that it burns too hot and causes creosote build up rather fast.
Also, using the door slightly cracked to get the fire started. Is that ok? I read that leaving the ash door open will cause cracks and ruin a stove. Didn't know if this was the same.
Any help is much appreciated. I can't seem to get off this website and looking forward to hearing any advise.
Thanks, Josh
