New BK owner

[Keith E]

Hey everybody. I'm one week into my new BK Princess. I'm also one week into turning off my heat....I'm loving this stove for sure! Question that I have is is there a comfort zone where my stove likes to run? I'm hesitant to push it past midway into the active zone. Where do you all run yours when it's settled in and crusing along? Thanks fellas.

After getting mine up to the active zone, I set it somewhere in the middle. After that it is dependent on how high I turn the fan on to how high the needle goes up on the dial. Fan on high it stays about half way on the dial. Half fan to no fan raises the heat into the higher ranges of the dial. I usually load twice a day and let it get on the high side at least once a day to help clean up any creosote. Wood variety may be on your side though, I burn lodge pole pine here.
