You can pour syrup on poop, but that don't make it pancakes.

10 minutes with Microsoft Paint.  Anyway, I actually opened it up a half turn to get those temps. Before they were maybe 5-10F lower. As I recall, the air screw only controls how much air goes into the burn pot, there is still a gap below where air comes out for the air wash system. I'm no aerodynamics engineer, but I think the blower is still taking out the same amount of air (it just makes up the difference from the air wash opening) which is why I'm thinking the blower is too powerful and needs to be slowed down. Just adjusting the air screw made it so the burn pot burned hotter so all the air inside is hotter. Until I find a good way to do that (unbelievably Lowes and Home Depot don't seem to sell fully variable fan speed controllers in store, just online only and for big money) I might try and take some scrap metal laying around and jury rig a temporary plate to extend the baffle like I saw you do in an old post. "I'm no aerodynamics engineer, but I think the blower is still taking out the same amount of air (it just makes up the difference from the air wash opening)" I question if this is true. The amount of opening will determine the amount of air removed from stove. When you tighten burnpot valve you lessen amount of air the fan moves leaving the hotter air you created longer in burn chamber. There is about 3 square inches or less of opening total between burn pot valve and glass air opening, so adjusting burn pot valve matters because there is 7 inches of exhaust. I think burn pot adustment is more important than anything else. Probably using only one pellet for setting would be advantageous. If you get burn pot right everything will work out me "rethinks". Shouldn't have to mess with any thing but burn pot because fan can only move amount of air it is allowed no matter what it's capacity. |

tfg...I prefer Somerset when I can get them. Been using Indeck and Easy Heat so far this year. Really like the Indeck and Easy Heat are so-so. The only place in town that sells pellets has the Easy Heat this year so in a pinch thats what I use. Last year they carried FBP Pro Pellet which I love! I just buy a couple weeks worth at time so I am able to mix brands pretty easily. No room to store pallet loads.
 What do you use/prefer? |

Just as a reference (for myself and anyone else who may peruse this thread), still trying to tweak, but this is spot check of temps at auger setting of 3.

Ok drysun, at#3 I get 400* where you are 303* and 150* room air 6" out.
The differance you get above the door is because of a plate inside that seperates room air from firebox. By the way your baffle is quitting Stainless is best. |
