Just to keep on the “informational” theme of this thread…This morning the temps (and my draft) are sort’a in the intermediate stage… 10[sup]o[/sup] but no wind to speak of. The “stovace” is running almost exactly like the article I linked to describes. When I got up at 4:00 it was a bit cool in here (67[sup]o[/sup]) so I filled the box with oak… now, just 2½ hours later the oak is nearly consumed (short burn time), and although there is a coal bed it ain’t really what I’d call excessive and is burning and heating to some degree (stove steel way to hot to touch). Still, probably an hour or so from now I’ll need to reload (less than a 4-hour burn time)… but if it was a bit colder, or the wind was blowing, I’d have a monster bed of (almost) non-burning coals and be needing to reload now (and the stove steel would be cool enough to sit on).Just some FYI.Oh... and if it stayed at 10[sup]o[/sup] all day, the deep, none-burning coal bed would eventually manifest itself. It's just in extreme cold or wind, that it appears on the first load, or would have already been present when I got up this morning. If it was around 0[sup]o[/sup] and blowing, I would have needed to shovel out the coals (charcoal) to make room for the daily burning.
