Aren't you the clever one Lee? Did you really need to be up at 1 in the morning to do that? If it were me, I would've started at 9pm the day before, and it would've taken me that long to figure it out. Congrats on a job well done. Hope you get lots of hits. :)

They stay tall like that until I close the ash pan door, about 15 minutes. At that point they settle down and I set the primary and secondary combustion air controls for the long burn. Then the blues vary in size depending on how hot I need to run it for that particular burn cycle. 8-)

Here's the "salt and pepper" setting on the secondary air.. I use this cap after initial burn off of volatiles for the long burn on cold days.

Here's the "quarter pie" setting on the secondary air... I use this cap after initial burn off of volatiles for the long burn on mild days. It helps maintain draft by allowing extra heated air mass to climb thru the chimney.

Here's the "wide open" setting on the secondary air... I use no cap during and after initial burn off of volatiles for the long burn on warm days. It helps maintain draft by allowing excessive heated air mass to climb thru the chimney.

I've found that these three settings are enough for any conditions that I need to run the furnace under.
