A 36 hour unattended burn

We went away for the Holiday figuring we would need to refire Sunday night. Well 36 hours unattended, still had red coal, shook it down, opened the MPD, opened Ash door slide and Bimetallic to 12 oclock. Within 15 minutes the blue ladies were dancing and all was well. Ash pan was half full. What a great stove.

ya gotta love it!

That's truly amazing.

Hell Smoker, you coulda stayed gone for another day or so. That's a 50-93 not some girly-guy stove

Try that with a wood stove!

wow thats awesome!

Try that with a wood stove!

That's not going to happen lol... My old Tarm had hard time making it twelve hours.

Fred,

That's my bionic wifes stove.

Probably will go for a 48 hour burn around Christmas. So now the wife says "well can I tend it every 24 hours instead of every 12 hours?" What have I created?

Tis the season.

Well it happened A 48 hour idle type burn while we celebrated Christmas out of town. When we got home the house was 66, the stove top was 100. Did a shake and poke and the top coals came alive in about 15 minutes.

Oh before we left town I was playing with the front door and teasing the blue ladies. I had closed off all readily and easy air sources to the stove. MPD, ash door, T'stat and front door. This caused the blue ladies to hug the front glass door frame. Yup, tightened the window retainer screws 1/2 to 1 turn is all it took. Ladies disappeared until I slid open the "moon" on the ash door.

Nice ain't it!

We ALL know Fred is REALLY into that 'shake and poke thing!!!!! Keeps him fit!!! Hey Fred, you never mention that any GPS takes you to Longggggg Island, however EAST Freetown pops up in your back yard!

With a large modern catalytic wood stove, for example a Blaze King "King" model, you can achieve 36+ hour burns. Yes it does require good fuel (oak) and burning on a lower setting but it does work. It is great during ski weekends when I leave Friday nights and return Sunday. It keeps the house warm (60's) for the weekend. On return, with a hot wood fire, it is quick to get the house back up to the mid-70s

Yes, I burn both wood and coal. Wood is cheap, coal is easy.

How long do the girly stoves burn?

You mean when the power goes off for a week or a month w/ no genny?--probably about a month. Oh, sorry, you said BURN didn't ya.
