Stovax Stockton 7 help needed

[neiln]

Holly seems to be a very dense wood and gets my Stoves, very, very, very hot, so could well have quite a bit of resin in it.

I find Hawthorn as a blue flame .

I thought Georgie had the blue flames

I was sad enough to take a couple of videos last year of my stove burning slowly with blue flames, I think I was burning yew but can't say for certain. For me this seems to be the sweet spot for the air setitng in terms of heat output, longevity no visible smoke/soot etc.

 

 

Similar video but with different wood and the air set slightly higher.

yep that's how I love to get mum's.  Unfortunately my own stove needs the smoke control kit so I can only get vibrant dancing flames, not the lazy hovering!

As for Holly, I threw 2 shortish and average thickness bits in my stove earlier, albeit on a hot bed of coals  where the previous logs were almost still flaming....and the flue pipe went to 375C!  it came back down in 10-15 minutes, but flippin' 'eck, holly is powerful stuff.  Yew is similar in my experience, I have to tread carefully with both these woods.
