I got a good video of a fairly large backdraft this morning.  Check it out!

Is the same video that's on the face book page?  Regardless, that's impressive.  I've had a couple of those happen to me.  Both times I was brain dead when I went to add wood to the OWB and forgot to open the by-pass door.  One remembers to duck rather quickly.  Roger

Thanks for that I can show the wife why she should open the bypass

Good video! I always stay low and behind the door. I've curled a few hairs a time or two though.

That's what happens when the stove just shuts down and there is no bypass. I had that happen when it was still running. There is so much unburned gas in the firebox. I just open the door to the notch. Filling only works if it is running, because there is so much smoke coming out the door you can't even breath to get wood in it.
