I have the Stockton 5 and removed the smoke control kit for your reasons stated above, its a different fire altogether, so much more control with it. Burning softwoods i shut it right down, it ticks over spot on. Burning hardwoods i have it open only slightly (5-6mm) and again ticks over spot on, i think its a cracking little stove.

Going off your last post, if your cutting pallets and dont want to bend over as much, hence your reason for a longer bar then put the pallet on a table, problem solved! 🤠 I’ll get my coat….. I’m off to put my 46” bar on my Ms180!

stove size and using an inline fan
Ratman replied to drinksloe's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Regards your power outages at times, could you not put a 12v pump in-line to run off a deep cycle battery for when your in the shit? You say your not running the stove for more than 4hrs or so on a night, you could have some leisure batteries on standby for if the inevitable happens and would do your needs no problems for a few days easy. Just put a diverter loop in your pipe work with some on/off valves to divert from your every day 240v pump to 12v pump when required. Very simple. And presumably you’d have a generator for such occasions for a few tools/kettle etc when your desperate [emoji6] genny would run ya pumps 240v or 12v if you were mega desperate. -

Fire with a back boiler on a zone pump is a good shout i rekon, and that would also allow you to go with a lesser kw branded stove (as mentioned 8kw verses a chinese 11kw) for optimum efficiency but with enough heat generated that you won’t be cooking like a chicken on a spit sat in close proximity to it either, and the added bonus also that with it being an 8kw (if thats your preference) it wont need fuelling as often as an 11kw so reducing your wood usage too, win win! -
Yeah love it! Very car like, comfortable, easy driving. Had to do injector seats other month as it started chuffing on me. Got all 4 injectors out in a couple of hours, wire wheeled all bodies of em back to nice and clean, same with cylinder head, wire brush in drill then into holes, put some fresh copper seating washers on, new dust seals for in top of head, some magic paste from work to smear on injector bodies to stop em seizing in, job done! Does 50+ mpg according to dash on a run. I’m only 2 miles from work so its barely getting warm most days, but always get a run at weekends trailing about, oil prob gets dropped every 2k miles, had a new egr when i got it so should be good for a few years for me.
