Osburn runaway?

[Sprinter]

For those of you that would like to read it, you can download the instruction manual for the Osburn Matrix for example and there's quite a bit of info on there. http://www.osburn-mfg.com/upload/documents/manuels/45593A_20-11-2013.pdf

That really is a well written manual. Most manuals aren't nearly as comprehensive with their recommendations on wood or proper operation.

Hi Bagelboy, just as a suggestion get back the stove in the condition when you installed it. (no holes plugged). Then tell us step by step what is your fire starting procedure, what is the humidity of your wood in % (get a cheap moisture meter), then show us how much wood you put in there, when you start dialing down the unit etc... Better yet post pics or videos. At the end of the day, I have a suspicion your stove works perfectly as designed; you may just need to get used to its workings.

This sounds like a good plan. Just go step by step with us and see how it goes. I wish I knew how this stove behaves with a full load. So far it's all been small loads which really doesn't tell much.

Unfortunately, it's a little warmer tonight, so it's hard to fire it up. Their not talking colder temps til Saturday night.
