This is kinda related to some previous posts. I have a Jotul 3cb and I tend to put wood in it every couple of hours? I hear that other people are just...
Peter, Get a good 2" to 4" coal base built up with spit wood - then drop on a big 8" to 10" round piece of wood with a split piece on either side. The split...
... Not good advice IMO. 8" to 10" unsplit rounds are far too big for modern wood stoves, even large ones. They are not designed for big pieces and moreover,...
Hello everyone, I am getting a Jotul C 450 Kennebec insert installed into my fireplace with a new steel line flu in about 2 weeks. Does anyone have this same...
I'm curious. Napoleon says that medium size wood with medium air is the most efficient. Thoughts? They also suggest re-kindly by raking the coal bed to the...
Well :-( I guess I will try again next week. It ends up we have to insulate the liner with thermex and then also reline the flue for the oil-fired furnace....
There's things to make the burn longer. Use larger pieces of wood, larger pieces last longer. After I get a bed of coals I'll put the largest pieces I can fit...
That creates a draft channel between the rows of coals, air moving over them keeps the ash layer from forming and exposes the new wood to a constant hot coal...
Keith what kind of burn time do you get on the I3100 I put one in last Feb. If I close the air valve allmost all the way I can maybe get 5-6 hours over night....
Hi all my question is what do you do to move the heat from room to room? I'm running a Regency fireplace insert I3100. Wanted to get a free standing stove but...
We run a Hearthstone Clydesdale insert which has a blower that sucks air from the bottom and blows it through the surrounding insert and out through the top....
Hi there, See if you can get some trim peices with side blowers which would help but of course, not the same as a fireplace insert with a blower. Also look in...

Why would they tax your existing stove and wood? Does this mean we will be paying taxes on cords of wood? What ever happend to cash deals? LOL. Sent via...
I will try and refrain from feeding the fire. I would also like it to go all night, but I don't think that is possible. I have been trying to experiment with...
last year i was able to obtain load of citrus wood, orange, lemon, lime, and I tested the burn time. after a nice bed of coals was made, I would put four...
in NJ, a cord runs ~$130 on the cheap side and with sales tax that is $9.10 tax on top of that. As for the existing stove, since I had to pay $130 for the...
And, have you seen that San Francisco is banning all fireplaces, which I am sure will include stoves, if not at the beginning, in the near future. _____ From:...
Bob, With the Quadrafire 3100i insert - the fire box is not that large - so I just only keep a 2 to 3 split logs in in the firebox at a time. Since the stove...
