Couldn't wait any longer and decided to do the cure in burn when I got home from work Friday morning. I put in 6-7 small splits and cut up some of the shipping crate, firebox wasn't even half full. Slowly crept the stove up to about 450 and left it there for a bit then cranked it to around 600. I engaged the cat after a couple hours of burn and slowly backed down the air until the secondaries kicked.
For this being the first fire, I have to say that this stove can put on a beautiful show. I lit the fire at 8:45 a.m. and finally made it to bed around 12:00, when I woke up around 6:00 p.m. I was surprised to find that the stove was still putting out quite a bit of heat and enough glowing coals left to start another load. Granted the weather is very mild right now but still quite impressive.
