Out of 8 seasons of hand fired use, I had 3 seasons of 1 match club.. Could've been more, but because of equipment failures (busted grates.. ECT) I would be forced to shut down and fix things..

Drafting wasn't a problem once the warm found it's way up the chimney, that would only take a couple minutes starting with 0 on the manometer.
