A lot of radiant heat from the stove is going straight into those windows.

It looked like a wood subfloor in the pic next to the stove where the tear is so I was thinking it has a basement. Although that may be linoleum that looks like wood. jr84...can you clarify for us nosy types?windyhill4.2 wrote:To me that means no basement & a cold concrete slab that sucks BTU's out as fast as open windows.
The same way you just got through tending it. Empty the ashes from the previous shaking. Brighten up the fire IF NEEDED, by opening the ash pan door. Close ash pan door, and open hopper door. Fill to top of fire brick, mounding up in the middle, and close hopper door. Let it be...........jrouse84 wrote:I will definitely give that a try. One last concern regarding the hopper. I am a little concerned it will be too far burnt down to fill it in a timely manner in the mornings. On cold days it burns the hopper during my work schedule. I filled it around 6am. And it's 9pm now and it was just to the bottom of the hopper and hopper is empty. It was just the fire box left. Thoughts on that? It was a fairly cold day and stove was set on around 50% on the thermostat on the back.adter I shook it of course. So if that's the case, how would in need to tend it then?
