Manometer

i have a t from the collar of the stove, with another t on top of that.this is were the baro is. can I drill and install the mano between were the t joints are at, and get a good reading?

Yes that should be fine. Below is a picture of mine, It's the steel brake tubing with a little piece of tin crimped on it for a stop. The brake line tubing penetrates the pipe about an inch. I have a thermometer probe underneath the aluminum tape also in the picture. It just lays on top the pipe.

Oh, and all the extra screws you see are there only to seal holes hahaha. Not from deterioration, but I drilled them during my incessant fiddling

/inˈsesənt/ - adjective 1. (of something regarded as unpleasant) continuing without pause or interruption.

Edit: Rotated Picture....

In my defense, an awful lot of time between reloads this time of year. I get board hahaha.

yesterday was my first coal fire.i wrapped the baro with tin foil.no need to use it yet,still waiteing on the mano to get here.starting the coal took along time to get fired up.what I read about starting a fire on here is that you can use charcoal. if so what is the best brand to use?

i use cowboy coal, but I am starting a stoker. when I used the mark III I started a wood fire...paper kindling and bigger pieces of branches before sprinkling the coal on it.

ashcat has a nice video of the process on here somewhere.
