Here's a link to an old thread on our wood stove.


We still run it that way, and it still works fine.
Only a few fine cracks in the baffle.

We installed a mini split heat pump a couple years ago, so we only need to run it when it's very cold outside. But when we use it, we generally load it up like that. 👍
 
Hey Jimbib, welcome back. Good to hear the Summit is still cooking and keeping you warm.

That was a very entertaining thread! My baby PE Vista is too small to load that way 😂

I’m actually going to do this after the stove and flue is cleaned early next month. Want to see how long before my wife realizes the wine! I can hear her say “ you got the idea from the Hearth Forum!”😊
