Give it time. You are "super tuning" at this point. I'm sure you'll figure it out. (don't you have a cot down there, to keep an eye on it at nite?)
Oh, I have the remote BBQ thermometer on my bed stand for flue and furnace temp. Also, my smart phone is handy if I feel the need to see the draft measurement, DHW and warm air supply temps and if a thermostat call is in progress via the IP cam :lol:

Other than that, I put the Bluetooth speaker and sub woofer in the basement when I took the gazebo down for winter so I can cue up some Rush while I have a beer and shake the furnace lol

I took a few pics of the fire with my wife's Nikon DSLR camera. This is with an idle fire. Here's a couple, still experimenting with it. Thru the load door window. Kinda neat full screen ;)

I know it!! Thanks for the kind words. I also had the camera on a tripod to hold it still. The camera shutter was open for about 2 seconds.

I agree . Suitable for National Geographic publications, (or something of that stature.) Hey Lee, were the bottom photos of the blues taken "after" the above healthy burning beds? Viewing those photos, you can "almost" feel the heat. Nice.
