Help Maintaining a Burn

[Steven P]

For the air wash control, nudge it till the fire starts to die away and then knock is back open a bit. Control isn't instant, it takes a little while before what you do gets to what you set it at. For example, air fully open, loads of air in the fire box, and hot coals, half close it and there are still hot coals and still lots of air - but a few minutes later the air has stabilised to the new level and the coals have cooled to match.

 

So patience might be needed, close the air half as much as you'd think and then wait and see what happens. It takes a while to learn for your exact setup and stove the positions you will need.

 

Your logs shouldn't make too much difference but too big and limited air supply will also produce similar effects - maybe split the logs in half?

 

 

 

Baffle plate should be obvious if wrong? this might help that.

Thanks again guys, baffle is correctly installed.

Some food for thought there ahead of the next try.

Get a Burley . 🙂

I probably should have. I expect they are in short supply now, not to mention the expense.
