I had both stoves going all day yesterday.  Not because it was super cold, although it wasn't warm, but to warm the house back up after a few days away.  Burning some 20 month seasoned pine and some of its a bit resinous and nuclear.  I had one stove at 450C on the flue temp after one reload. It's survived though, thankfully!  I'm trying to do more frequent reloads of a single log at a time since 2 can just be too much.  Back to single stove evening ops until the weekend but the look.

 

Wow, 450c! 😮

 

I haven’t had much luck trying to burn a single log at a time before. Two or more always seem to burn much better. However, I’d imagine with your stove being Defra approved, it can’t be shut down after a certain point.

That is the issue, can't shut it down to slow it.  It runs at ramming speed only.  Like wise 1 log often doesn't burn well but if I reload early 1 can work.  Only trouble is this super dry but resinous pine...I put one on earlier and still hit 420C!  It was a super knotty piece, fatwood.

I have it from a reliable source that the next month or so is to be dominated by high pressure, so cold weather ahead. I'm no Peckerwoo (weather forecasting oracle that he was, sadly AWOL), but confidence is high :D

Clutch at these J 😀   

 

Dont hold much merit in long term forecasts myself but hope you are right all the same

It struggled to get above 13c here today, it wasn’t much warmer at 17c inside!
