I see the cat is checking it out. Should be ideal in the spring weather for a quick fire to chase the chill.

My idea was to burn the Golden on Spring and Fall warmer days using small wood fires. But if that little one can run for a 12 Hrs before refill, it will win the job. Now Le Petit Français burns s 8 lbs load since 5 Pm and it's 9.50 now, so almost 5 hrs, time or the cat will tell ...but the night will be a long one :) :D :lol:

You might also get a dust problem with the open ash pit.

In fact the small 16 X 10 living room needs just an oïl lamp heat to be confortable :D . Heat coming from the Sunnyside gives about 75% of the heat needed to get the place warm. That room is on the North side and with many large windows. Just to give an idea, the Golden Bride has a 9.5" fire pot and I used to put about 4 lbs for 12 hrs and it was too much heat, so that small one could be a solution.

According to what Richard told me, there is some code in the photos that his software does not like. When I bring the photos into Photoshop and rotate them the correct way and then re-save them, it erases that code that the software does not like.

That was exactly what I told to my wife before lighting it.
Because I wanted to try it on cold days and had not too much work to do to put it in place, so I decided to start a fire and let the wood and charcoal burn to ash then after a couple of hours I just scliced it from the front grates and the ash went down in the pan without a dust coming out. The draft probably pulled the dust out to my next neighbor :D .
Will see if anthracite ash does the same reaction when scliced down. But the slicing must be done much more délicatement than with the Vigll.

Hum, the stove burned from last fill up 9 pm to 4 am. About 7 hrs and at 4 am I checked the stove and there were red glowing coals in the front grate so I closed the MPD almost close to gain some more time but at 7.30 this morning the stove was death.
Looks like some anth were not burned completly probably caused from the MPD restriction?
Need to make some more experience but a 12 hrs burn time could be a hard time to get :oops:
