Not really a good idea to add a bunch of wood to a hot stove. It will offgas really quick and likely go nuclear. Probably look pretty cool, until the glow starts.
Can't think of a good reason TO do it.
I do what ever it takes to stay warm, not waiting for a cycle to finish when the temp in the house is dropping.James02 said:jeff_t said:A bit vague. What do you mean?

For the cold weather, I "thought" it might be a good idea to toss some wood in while there are still flames visable....

I've found that throwing logs on mid-cycle can sometimes smother the active burn or bring down the temperature of the firebox due to the wood being cold or room temp.

That's what I was worried about....
