took a short (11 seconds) video of it burning was curing it out with some pallet wood (waiting on some cordwood to be brought over from the north plant. I got her up to about 450 with ease. problem im having is trying to get the video from my phone into my desktop so I can post it, cant figure out how to post it from my phone directly
oh and BTW it was a 1 match start without a firestarter (shaved up some pallet wood and put in a teepee lit it off and was rolling in minutes ) bear in mind this is NOT hooked to a dilution tunnel. this is a six inch flue system we installed in this trailer and it was 70F outside when I lit it off

cant get the dang thing to upload, i'll take my camera to work Tuesday and shoot it with that, the stove is just coming available (we will be building 200 of them next week). the one I burned was simply awesome the trigger dropped perfectly and the stove went into just ridiculous secondaries looked like the northern lights up there.
I want one! gotta convince the wife though she loves the ease of pellet stoves , im thinking maybe take out my PAH and drop in the Madison in the kitchen, then install a small unit (we're working on a new small pellet stove with some serious technology currently as well) in my study, which is at the other end of the house, so I could run the woodstove and let the pellet stove take over when/if the woodstove goes out. gonna be an uphill battle but the savings would be pretty attractive IMHO

You can't upload videos to this site. They have to be linked from someplace else like dropbox or youtube etc.
The only video I ever wanted to put on here, I had to go open a YouTube account, upload it to there, and link it from here. It finally worked like a charm, just took me a little while to figure out how the hell to do it. Of course, until we actually see your video, all we have is your description of what might have been a hallucination.

Either a really small stove or a really big Hogwildz in that pic.
Hogwildz is bigger than life!Either a really small stove or a really big Hogwildz in that pic.
Here's another shot. No creosote here either.

Now that is a box, I didn't pay much attention to it at the stove contest with all the other stoves keeping me preoccupied. Now refresh my memory what is so special with this stove?
All I remember is how annoyed Dan at Inven was with it using the smartstove name.

the stove has a "set and forget" trigger.
say you have a cold start , you would load and start like any other stove except you would then set the trigger by pulling out and turning the rod about a 1/4 turn clockwise. the stove would then burn until optimal temp for closing the draft to settle into a long burn have been reached, the trigger would then release and the draft adjustment plate would drop thus setting the stove into a full on secondary burn.
on a reload you could then reset the trigger and allow charring at a normal primary feed then when the trigger drops the plate you are right back into the long burn setup.
one of the best features though IMHO is the loading door opening is enormous. makes for really easy reloading

he should have claimed the name sooner I guess (not my place to get into it) but I notice he wasn't too annoyed as he used my units for a test bed. to be brutally honest, I like the guy, he's a pretty nice dude. and his device is REALLY impressive. last thing I want to do is get into a pizzing contest over a name, if he can find a way to mainstream his invention it well could be a good thing for the wood burning community. I hope he is able to make it happen, he's certainly a smart guy when it comes to making woodgas work for clean heat.
And a huge side loading ash pan. Still no fun to get to that annoying plug in the middle, but a large pan.
never found much need for an ash pan, I shovel out the door old school style, if I out one in i'd probably brick over the opening anyway , the pan is on the right side and that doesn't work for where my chimney is. have a closet wall about 20 inches from where the stove would sit (I suppose I could have em bend me a pedestal riser backwards so I could pull from the other side
)I seriously like the stove though folks. it takes a lot for me to contemplate putting a log burner back in (even with the 30 and the 13 in our line I didn't really contemplate it) im seriously grinding on it now
Yeah I brick the plug hole over so the shovel can get to the ashes better myself.
This whole thread is almost a big tease! We need video and specs/pricing! haha. I'm so impatient..
