Temperature Differential
« on: October 20, 2014, 05:35:32 PM »

Currently I have my stove set at a 5 degree differential(only been running 36 hrs.)  Tonight I opened the door and the blower was going and virtually no coals other then a baseball size area.  I put in 2 pieces and figured there was no way things would ignite.  Checked it a 1/2 hr later and it was roaring away.  Am I thinking correctly that with less load on the stove now I should leave it as to create more frequent burns and as more demand is put on it increase the differential to about 10 degrees?

I like to keep the differential tight, around 5 degrees! surprising how much heat the brick holds huh.

Never thought it would re-ignite.
