It is a wicked good stove...but very different from a regular type stove. Bought it new....I had to be retrained...actually read AND FOLLOW the 'structions....when this thing is running properly it heats very well and burns all the smoke......load it full in the morning and head out the door.....normal stove would be sending out a lot of smoke at that time...my Jotul cookstove does, filled at the same time with a lot less wood.....but not this guy...can just see heat vapors... no smoke what so ever...about 8 hr burn time...very steady heat the whole time...not cool at the first part of the burn...hot in the middle and cool on the back end.......just steady, even heat........but as you can see it requires some maintenance.....though I must say after taking the whole thing apart and getting a better insight as to how it all works I have realized better ways of operating it so as to avoid excess wear and tear on the combustor. Combustor is a very light refractory material....very delicate...designed to operate at over 2000 degrees 'Merican....did some figgering.....got just a bit over 50 cord of Jonsereds cut wood through that combustor in the last nine years...
Finished up the stove today......combustor all installed......new grittle gasket on top.....new firebrick fireback.....to warm to fire it today.....perhaps tomorrow...
Don't worry , the cold is coming back ! LOL

Cold here to stay for awhile, really going through that woodshed full of wood, seeing wood I haven't seen for about three years. Can't believe a guy even recognizes a particular tree from that long ago.

Makes more room for more wood. Good reason to run a saw

Hey T!! How yah been?
Rain here tonight then snow starting around 4:00 AM, and then 1-3"s an hour a good part of the day with high winds. Winters coming back.
Weird ain't it? LOL
Boy you ran some wood thru that Baby Robin!!!
Ask T.....out in Ohio they use Poplar for house siding! Had an old Ford wood truck with a small V-8 in it that had a Poplar bed in it. Older it is harder it gets.
Nice pictures!!!
Hey Bobby, good to see you are still with us. Very mild here for this time of year, water running everywhere and snow receding rapidly.

LOL.....Just yesterday digging in my biggest pile yesterday getting wood for this storm recognized pieces of wood I split 2 years ago!! Couldn't believe it either!!
Just saw the radar on your neck of the woods. Looks like you're getting about 2"s an hour right now. But we're about over here with nearly 10"s. I think when it's over we'll get a ft. Usually do with these NorEaster's that come up the coast.
