It was a bit of a struggle this morn and Friday night to re learn the settings on the stove. I wanted high Barrel temp but I didn't want the draft at .1. I been wanting to run her around 600° but was having trouble to get over 500°. If I open the secondary and back elbow damper to much the stove would slow down to much and never reach 600° no matter how much I opened the primary. As I have read in many post befor more air out =more air in. I finally found the right damper combo got her crushing at 600°-650° With .005 draft during gust. Had the livening room a tropical 80°.

i'm guessin that was .05 during gusts ? otherwise you would surely have been in reversion the rest of the time.

CCM,
What Steve is pointing out is that you have two zeros after the decimal point and he's assuming the wind gusts drove the reading higher. If so, then the stove would be drafting in reverse when the wind wasn't gusting.

Did you mean the wind gust got the mano reading up to .05 (only one zero), or did the gusts drive it down to .005 (two zeros) ?
