I have a new Pacific Energy Super LE, although I suppose my questions are relevant to most modern wood stoves.
Do I close the air control (at least partially) as soon as the wood is charred and burning well, or do I wait until the stovetop/stove pipe is close to my desired temperature?
I guess my more general question is: I know closing the air control decreases the input air, but does it also cause the stove to send less heat up the pipe, retaining more heat in the room?
