Its very steady And the stove is more responsive to draft settings life is a lot easier when it comes to running the stove.

On a side note had a hot fire this morning got a ir gun reading below the baro of 500 on reload. I was pushing it though it was 0 outside plus i had just got up but when i turned the tstat down it fell down into the 200's Im happy i would say i finally have success.

That's great! Even though you are using a fuel that has a peak and trough kind of heat output characteristic, the baro should moderate the highs lows some. This will make it a lot easier to control your stove overall. I'm happy to hear you are having positive results ;)

Make sure your weight knob is on the proper side it's supposed to be for vertical or horizontal pipe. Can't see your pipe in the pic.
