My local hardware store sells this fire starter gell. I am not certain of the name of it, since I am not at home while writing this. It is a very nice...
I imagine the gel your hardware store sells is for grilling your steak and not stating your wood stove. IMHO no accelerator should be used in a home unless...
John, I had some trouble removing the stack.Before I tried to force it,I called PE tech support and he advised me to leave it be.He said they never had any...
... A little over the top, don't you think??? A small amount of accelerant used in an airtight stove, even with the door open 1-2" would not cause such a fire....
I'm not sure what an "airtight" stove has to do with it. But definitely the door should be open. But there is great danger depending upon the accelerant. An...
Hi, am new to this group. We have been heating our home for 6 months now with wood. I was surprised to see a link from the group which suggested that domestic...
Please ignore my last post - I've done a search on the forum and found TSP - have now ordered some! Doh! Should know better than to post without looking!...
Were it me I would stick with the brush and rods, no telling what the chemicals will do to your stainless. (Nothing good and that is for sure) What wood...
Ray, Sorry, I assumed you were using an S27. I know nothing about deterioration rates in Vistas, and didn't ask my dealer friend about upgrade dates for them....
... Gel starter is often sold for pellet stoves because pellets are tricky to light using newspaper. John No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by...
There is no such thing as a residential scale gasifier. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification You are probably thinking about downdrafts, although...
Glen, The link on the woodheat site is not directed at heating water, necessarily, but the specific use of a water jacket in a wood burner's combution chamber...
Sorry, my terminology was wrong, "gassifier" should not have been used, down draft design should be substituted in its place. The down draft designs by Tarm...
Pps. do not use steel brushes on a stainless steel liner it will rust out the liner in short order. Use only fiber based brushes (non metallic) gggGary ... ...
http://tinyurl.com/6lkg3e have a great graphic in demonstrating how the downburner works. I have this stove and am very impressed with it. David Loch Lomond ...
Not hard to understand your skepticism. Here's how it works. A steel brush will do two things it will scratch the stainless steel liner and it will leave a...
http://www.ncenergy.org/2008/ Saw a lot of examples of pellet stoves, small pelletizers, and gasifying wood stoves. We are starting a cob masonry stove for our...
Hi, I have looked through FAQ's and have not come across this idea. I have a Ranch house that is 25x40. At the end of the house opposite of the bedrooms, there...
Hi Mark-I installed my wood stove 6 years ago in a ranch in similar circumstances(see post#674,681,682).I don't think running duct work as you described would...

John and list, Do any of these downdraft units in North America have a stack sensor to control the air supply for combustion? They are using them in Europe on...
I don't think the bathroom type fans move much air. Probably more effective would be a couple of standard portable box fans sitting on the floor, blowing air...
In your situation the basement may be better than the shop. Centered in the living space is best. Never "pull" air from a room with a wood stove. Always push...
I pull 1200CFM of air per minute from the ceiling directly above my stove. The system just circulates air. it's not going to be much issue with draft or cause...
Bob I think this is one of those OK if you want to (get by with it) but don't advise it situations. I would never suggest someone pull air from a room with a...
