I was looking to see if someone could walk me through startup of the Oslo to when to shut off the air? I would really appreciate it, right I am kinda fumbling through it and not really sure how to get a nice long burn.
Thanks
Thanks
Sounds like I'm doing alright then....I just have an occasional dancing secondary flame? The stove is staying around 350f on the temp so I'm guessing that is where it should be? Thanks for the quick response.
I tried an Encore-style overnight burn last night for the first time in our new Oslo, just for the hell of it - get a good bed of coals, throw in a a good load of wood, then shut it way down. Good bed of coals 8 hours later, but the lovely glass window was so black I couldn't see the flames. It seems to be gradually clearing, did I do something wrong or is this just the way they work?
Oh, any idea what the "official" word is on opening the loading door to get a bit of extra air? The directions say NEVER NEVER NEVER open the ash door, but are mum as to the others, which I guess could be taken as indirect approval.

(I'd ask the Jotul dealer but they don't answer the phone - you never get a person, got to go through a phone tree then leave your number and now that I've bought the damn thing they never call back.)
Once you start getting her good and hot you will keep that glass clean. You may see some darkening when you reload, but it will burn off once it gets up to temperature.Well after reading the comments I don't think I had a good bed of coals. This is definitely where I screwed up, I know for a fact. I am slowly learning and yes I have a really dirty front door now!
