Chrism said:Northwind when u get the IR up to temp and load her up for the night , the air control infront... slide left open all the way slide right closed all the way on average what position is it in for a over night burn ??
tfdchief said:Wow. I love this place, but sometimes I think a few get a little carried away. Burning wood has so many variables. There are consistencies of course, but you really have to figure out your situation. Even scientific studies have to be considered in light of the controlled situation, which we may not have at home. I have successfully burned wood for 40 years, and in about everything you can burn wood in, and I just don't think it can all be boiled down to some of the simplistic statements that get made here sometimes. Just sayin.

Chrism said:Stove guy worded it in a way that a new wood stove owner can understand, I get it . And one more thing when you guys load a stove for the night do u fill it as much as you can? And what do you look for as far as air control , do u turn it down to where it almost goes out then open it up a crack to give it enough air to see a faint bluish flame or do you keep the rolling orange flame goin ??
Great info. Great advise!stoveguy2esw said:guys (and gals ) biggest thing is to char effectively when loading for a long burn, as stated the biggest part of emmissions (and the stuff which is bad in a flue) is during the first phase of the fire when temps are low and moisture is high, allow ample time to heat the flue and the firebox to a good burn temp , then back her down for the long burn.
in shoulder seasons smaller splits and short hot fires are the best , a little more work but well worth it as you get just the heat you want without "bogging down" the stove with an ugly fire. woodburning is as much an art as anything you will do, it takes a little "T&E" a little deveoped "feel' but gawd its fun to do! just be safe and keep an eye on your equipment, new burners , look at your flue on a regular basis until you grasp the subtlties of burning. and above all else remember "DONT KNOW MEANS DONT KNOW!" ask questions on the hearth, the gang is fantastic at coaching , heck ive learned a ton in here and i do this for a living! if ya dont ask , you dont learn

Reading advice here in an effort to keep any evil glazed creosote to a minimum I decided to buy a bottle, 2 actually, of Anti Creosote Spray. Ive been using it for 2 weeks now and my box is full of dried up, grayish pieces of crumbled up ash which I assume is the result of using a few sprays a day. Cheap insurance if you ask me.
Loco, curious about this poduct. Do you apply directly to fire bricks and all? Is the product supposed to help keep the liner clean as well?

Chrism said:Hey you guys talk about a quick hot fire for the chill in the air. I thought its bad for a cast stove or metal stove n the chimney to start a quick fire, I thought a slow warm up was the best ???

Chrism said:A friend of mine gave me some oak pallet racks ??? I'm guessin that would be good for the shoulder season instead of using the good wood (oak,maple) etc.
