well, my wife and i are now the proud owners of an alderlea t5. we have only been running it for the last couple of days. we have heated with non-epa stoves for years and i am finding that these newer style stoves handle very differently. last night, i had a nice bed of coals and loaded it all up with wood, waited a few minutes then turned the air down as low as it would go. last night was fairly warm for us (probably around -10) so i closed the air down all the way. i woke up at midnight and it was about 90 degrees! Is there a way of having an all night burn w/o loading the stove all the way? it seems that even with the air turned down all the way, its still getting more draft than it should? i think i read that a pipe damper is a poor idea for these newer stoves.
this stove makes some HEAT, a very comfortable heat i might add. so far we love it, i just have to get it figured out better. thanks for any suggestions. appreciate it!
