I was bored last night and knew our temps would be warm so I decided t to load the stove up and dial it down. I even weighed the load since it seemed like the right thing to do. :lol: I loaded around 11pm last night, I charred the load and dialed it down to "1" on the t-stat, when I left for work around 8am the stove top was 450ish with the cat still glowing, tonight at 7pm the temp was around 280, I took the temp picture at 9pm after turning the stove up.(fans weren't used except when charring the wood last night) The stove is back on "1" now and I'll probably let it ride till morning and see what happens. When it's burning on low the temps on the top are the higher temps due to the cat heat the rest of the stove is a bunch cooler, I think this is why it doesn't cook you out even when it's in the 50'/low 60's like it was today. It was 72/73 when I went to bed last night and I think it's 73 right now.
Obviously this isn't gonna get it done when it's cold but for this type of weather it's fun not over heating the place or loading small chase fires in the morning/evenings while dealing with cold starts.
Here is about 45lbs of oak and ash
22 Hours later, yes the glass is black that's the reason the door is open for the picture. :lol:
Temp at 22 hours after turning T-Stat up to "2"
