Total let down. Dud of a storm. Little bit of lightning and thunder, a little rain, zero hail. I was really hoping for some of that 2.5" hail though I am glad that my roof wasn't damaged by any of it. We were all tucked in at home waiting.

Yes, it was a nothingburger. Just a nice light show with some sound effects. I'm glad it wasn't serious. The east side has already taken a couple big hits this year.

Interested to hear your take on this black box comment. I’ve seen similar information about this on YouTube.
If the princess / ashford is run without engaging the cat, can you get a nice viewing fire going?
I live in northern New England and currently heat 2200+ with my Manchester 8362 at about 6 cord per year. A robust fire view is not a deal breaker but we do enjoy sitting around the stove on cold days.

When you run on low and medium low, yes, there is no flame. This is because our low Btu burn rate is generally much lower than other "low" burn rates.
You will get some flame on medium. To increase the amount of flame, load smaller diameter pieces.
On high, lots of flame.
These observations by others, if they owe a BK, are because they use them to their maximum benefit. Large prices, heavy loads tightly packed = longest burn times possible.
Thank you for your question!
