I can achieve an overnight burn with just wood if I fill it up around 10-11pm and shut it down. Open up the vents around 6.30 am and get some small stuff back on it and away you go. Not bad for a smoke controlled fire with a door that doesn't seem to seal properly.

 

Yeah that's how I'm finding it easiest to achieve an overnight burn. Cheers mark.

Maybe its coz the door doesn't seal properly that it stays alight , just getting enough air ?

There,ll nearly always be a little hole drilled in the side or somewhere to allow a minute amount of air in on a complete shutdown. Mine has two, one on either side. I couldn't always achieve an over night burn because I live ontop of a hill and the house is called "windy ridge" so the draw is sometimes really bad.

 

I found that I'd I stick a small screw in one of the holes it works a treat and now I can achieve an over night burn no problem. My stove is now lit for five to six months solid
