Something I think I will try given the right conditions and opportiunity :D
If I stoke this thing with all oak and let it get it on, then turn it down.. It'll run 12 hours HOT and make everyone want to get nekkie.... Best to do that when the kids are in bed ;) :lol:
Yeah I get er going good before I progressively shut the air down... I usually start out with some pine, add oak or elm, then if I need it really warm, the locust. Mostly burn oak and pine though. Pine works nice during the day shouldl the chill just need knocked off. Fact is, we probably burn...
Exactly Al. Now it might just be my stove and the wood mayb should have been seasoned more. But it is black locust and it burns as you describe if I get the air just right. Can't shut the draft like oak or pine though until the dang stuff is about all coal. If you do, it just eventually goes...
Oh and.... this stove has a CAT baffle built into it, burns the gasses as well. So when you open the door, it is far from violent. Interesting to watch it burn the gasses as well. You can see the gasses flame out of the baffles.
Locust was nice to have in the pile this year.. Only seasoned one year, you could not close the damper all the way. Burns a long time when you get the draft just right :)
Next time someone tells me I split like a girl........
