Here is another pic showing the baro. Its probably a bad picture I took it with my cell phone. But it should it better than in my other pics.

It seems the MPD restricts the draft by keeping heat in the stove and lowering the exhaust temp

The MPD restricts the draft to the appliance by partially obstructing the stove pipe. :idea:

Keeping heat in the stove and lowering the exhaust temperature is the result of the obstruction.

I know it is an ongoing argument (LOL).

That it is. :roll:

..fire that sucker up..I try to keep mine at 450*..it's wind chill factor 9* outside here today..might try to get mine up to 500*..when ya get these blue flames from the over-fire vents going, you'll be warm.. :dancing:

Is the mpd too close to the baro on IOF's hook up? He has them mounted in the same Tee. I'm just thinking during warmer weather and at the angle he is showing the mpd in the picture, he could possibly dump CO into the house. What does everybody else think about this?

Seems like you are making these small adjustments trying to get it up to 70...
I agree, work the other way.... :idea:

Crank that sucka UP... get it warmer than you want, and go down.
We know that coal is very slow to react, just crank it.
What's the downside? you get TOO warm??

Then you'll really feel the difference between the two stoves.

I guess I am working backwards. The dial is up to 5 now.

I wanted to see where it settled at each setting. I suppose that's kind of a "Does it matter if I'm still cold"? situation.

Well, I opened it up and within 20 minutes it was 500*. Another 10 minutes went by and I looked again and it was 600*. So the dial got readjusted do hopefully stop it from climbing, because it was still going up in temp. So it's now set at 450* and the stove temp reads 500*.

At 600* I had a lot of blue flames. At 500* not so much, more hopping around than anything.

Also you might mention where you are measuring the temp, i.e. near the firebox or near the top? In my Chubby, for example when it is purring along like it is now, it is 480 near the firepot but only 330 on top.

I am taking my measurement at the top of the stove just behind the Hopper door.

So you maybe a lot hotter than you think compared to other posted DS temps. Just something to consider.

I'm On Fire · By: **I'm On Fire** On: Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:08 pm

Yeah. I'm learning that no matter where you take your temps on the stove its always an approximation of how hot it really is. I've noticed that as well with the thermometer on my furnace T-Stat. It is currently reading 75* but when I throw the laser in the general vicinity of the T-Stat it shows 72*.

Oh, and yes, my MPD is in the same "T" as my baro. I have plans on changing it. I haven't been using the MPD much as it is anyway.

It is all relative...
So long as you are using the same heat measuring device in the same location...
You can tell if your stove/house is running hotter or colder...
So you got the house over 70*...

Now it is 75*...
What temp was the stove running at to do this...
If it was 350-400* you still got more heat that you can squeeze from the stove...
So when it gets colder and/or the wind kicks up you can still maintain a warm house...
The temp on top behind the hopper door is pretty close to the temp just above the glass on my DSM Basement #4...
I have 5 mag thermometer on the stove...
1 above the baro, 1 below the MPD an 3 on the stove...

It was actually around 460*. That's where the stove has been idling all day. I've only got two thermometers on the stove. One on it and one about 12" up the stack past the baro. But I do have the laser that I will randomly hit in different spots.

Keeping the house warm...
