It is better for sure.
Well I've been lower on the stat than ever before & in the morning the wood is gone.
I'm cautiously moving down on the stat, watching it for a few hours then down another scosh.
How much better I don't know. still working out what my new lowest setting will be.
Had it all figured out, now it has changed, for the better but how much better is yet to be determined
New tuned exhaust

takes time to quantify the results & get various carburetor settings figured out.
