Nothing too crazy, smaller fire at first.

First burn should go until somewhere around the first week in April. Hang out around five hundred degrees.

he didnt even take a tape measure in....i was just sitting next to the stove and i heard a big ping noise...is that normal? and just now another one
the stove got really hot quick..i cant believe the stove temp when up to 700..i almost craped myself...i have the gauge on the upper side of the stove ..is that the right place to take the temp?

Take the temp either on the step top between the flue collar and the step or on the front of the step. On the side of the stove on each side are two areas front to back that are exposed directly to the firebox. Above those areas are the secondary air manifolds and below them are the fire brick. Because they are exposed directly those two areas get mighty darned hot. Hottest spots on the stove.
I am a first time burner as well. My temp gauges are in 2 spots, 1 on cooktop in the center and one about a foot up the single wall chimney. I try to keep cooktop around 500 which leaves the stack at about 250..... I don't think my stove likes running there... the thing I am trying to get used to is shutting down at 500.....it cooling to 400 before climbing (completely closed down) to 600+ then settling down.
ya i put the gauge in the middle of the top and it reading 500 ..... its 30 degrees outside and 80 degrees inside about 20 ft away from the stove with a very small fire...this thing is great!!
mmm got to love the smell of paint curing :sick: smells like the gas co is getting less of your hard earned money
the good part is the smell will stop before the first week of April (if you burn it all night it will probably not be smelling the place up tomorrow)
