GM...are all break-in fires created equally? For our old stove we started with some small sticks and kindling and let that burn for a while and then go out. Then progressed to 4 or 5 small splits and got up to around 400. Then moved up to some larger splits and got up to 500+. Is that sufficient for a new Isle Royale?

Thanks,
Kyle

That should be fine.

Yes, that's fine. But you might still get a little paint burning smell when you have a hotter fire in the future.
