Nice video Mr1. Surprisingly I would have never thought of the auger making as much noise as it does.

Actualy, since the video I wrapped it with knitted fiberglass rope and it quited it right down. I'm not sure what other people do. I cant hear it upstairs though. Thanks for the feedback!

New to the form, have been burning for 3 years now and loving it(so much cheaper than propane)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Stove is set and just tweaking to get the best burn. Can't wait for the colder weather to fire it up (I can't believe I just said that)!!!!!!!!!!

Here are some thermal images I shot of my stove. I wanted to see what mt pipe temp was since I have a hearth model stove. When the stove was burning at over 420* the pipe was 126* When the stove was idiling at 299* the pipe was 106*. The one shot of the stove is when it idiling with the coal-trol set at 6. Its burning at 299*. The other shot was when I had my max set at 50 and the burn rate was 35. Its burning at 424* as the hottest point on the stove.

I have access to a Fluke Ti120 thermal imager. I use it at work to shoot our high voltage connections for hot spots and our HVAC fans for bad bearings. (can't say about the blonde that works in the lab)

Could you post some pictures of your stove?
I understand that there there are many people that disagree with my choices and I accept that, as long as they understand that I may disagree their choices.

Very "cool"! What exactly did you shoot it with and how much did it cost? I want one!
