Wood Stove Recommendation

[Wintergreen282]

Mixing some less seasoned wood in with the dry stuff and saving that big oak or beech log for the last nighttime loading helps for a longer burn. I generally don't get up to reload preferring an uninterrupted sleep to dealing with colder temps in the morning. That said, I will put a mix of wood types by the stove to easily toss in should I get up. A good bed of coals can take big logs, a weak bed needs faster burning wood. If you pay attention, you learn what will catch and what will leave you with half burnt logs in your stove. Draft makes a difference and I think the wind influences your draft. It's possible barometric pressure influences your draft. Trees around your yurt can grow taller from one winter to the next and make a difference.
