Sorry guys, but our video is slow going, and needs mega editing. I'm not a huge Panthers or Denver fan, but the game is on and distracting. You're not missing much from my video cause it's horrible, but I will post it later.
The stove is purring along, and for the 1st time this winter, the house is over 73 degrees. I threw in a few chunks of elephant dung, just to keep the level up there. As Arnold would say, "I'll be back".

We're 8 hrs into it, and the stove is chugging along like a fully loaded steam train, on a 2% grade. I would be hesitant to give accurate temperatures, because out of my 3 thermometers, I don't know which is right...yet. About a 100° spread from hi to low. But if we were to take the "middle" reading, I have it averaging around 450° @the middle of the barrel. Primaries are cracked, and MPD shut tight. Even with that, the manometer is reading about -.04. So the house is comfortable, altho the OATs are still almost 30°. I have shaken the grates a little, and shoveled a few scoops of stove into it, but haven't been paying it much mind. I just topped it off, and the morning will tell how well it holds the heat. Good nite till tomorrow, and Congrats to Payton Manning.

Joe,
Glad to see the G111 up and running! Now you can feel the bone warming coal heat you've been missing!

So, how'd the 111 survive it's first night, Joe ?

Afternoon people. Hope all have recovered from last nights game. I'm not a huge football fan, but sometimes, the SB can be interesting.
The G111 has been doing its job well, considering what little knowledge I have to operate it correctly. Altho it didn't need it, before I went to bed, I did a little shaking of the grate, and topped it off with a few morsels of stove. The barrel temp was almost 500°. That was about 11PM. I opened my upstairs bedroom door at 6AM, to pleasantly feel the warmth of coal heat. The barrel temp was still almost 500°, and the coal bed looked full and orange. Even tho the bottom of the pot (clinker door) was grey. Once again I shook the grate for a few seconds, till the clinker door area illuminated, and refilled the pot, which the level dropped a bit down. (maybe 2/3rds left.)
And here we are, 10 hrs later, 24 after initial fire-up, as I've just arrived home from work. (I couldn't wait to get home and play)
The coals were still high, and burning orange, and the barrel temp has held 500°. Draft stays @-.04 with the MPD almost shut. And once again, the bottom was grey, so I decided to really give it some poking and shaking. When I was done, the ash pan was close to full, and the pot level had dropped close to the bottom, but lots of glowing orange embers still there. So I might've messed up, cause I loaded the top full of fresh Kimmel stove, and after a few minutes, thought I killed it. I've been playing for an hour trying to get it back. There's still glowing orange in the clinker door, and mysteriously, when I open the load door, the dancing "blues" return. So I don't think it's dead, just struggling. I'll get it back. next time I won't throw in as much.

Empty the ashpan first, (nice cold ashes don't fly around the house ) with the internal check and the MPD wide open, then close the internal check. Go into direct draft and dump/shake.
Soon you'll learn what she likes
You timed it perfectly with the cold weather that has arrived

I do that all the time by being impatient, by opening the door your giving it enough air to ignite the gases, on mine when this happens if I open my secondary air a little bit it will keep the blues going

Joe,
And I would add to Scott's that you don't want to bury the fire with a lot of fresh coal. Try adding in layers you can still see some of the fire through, ...... with about 5 minutes between each layer to let it get burning before adding the next layer.
Surprisingly, being in a hurry to reload can stall the fire/draft and it often makes it take longer than if you build up the fire in layers.
