I have the super 27 for about 6 years . Burn 24/7 in cold WVa. I watch all these stove demos light the fire work way to hard . I put 2 round or splits on the sides ,twisted newspaper in the tunnel about 3 in wide or so 3 or 4 pine cones s some dry sticks or small wood pieces top it with a split piece or dry pine split or some other real dry stuff ,take about 2 or 3 minutes. As it burns it all falls to the middle of the fire . Starts like a rocket stove on its side .Don’t need to add anything for an hour or two.. Don’t under stand the idea of a double wall pipe ,get a lot of heat from regular old stove pipe . Do have double was insulation pipe to the out side . Love my super 27 stove . Stay safe stay warm.
Great stoves way ahead of their time. I’ve got one and it works good but could use some improvement like have a timer that opens the draft control after 5 hrs of burn time so the stove keeps throwing good heat. I guess some newer PE stoves have that. I modified my baffle with larger and more holes works much better now plus made my own baffle gasket out of door or window gasket material (can’t remember which).
Also does it really suck back in exhaust gasses to reburn? I thought I followed the baffle intake one time and it just went to the back/bottom of the stove where the fresh air intake area is.
Not sure exactly how it works .. but I guess the baffle adds another shot of fresh air for a secondary burn/re burns the gases before it exits the chimney. Something like that
Hello, thank you for putting together this video. There's some great info. I'm struggling with early season burning and keeping my flue temps down. Unless I have flue temps of 600c the stove top doesn't come up to 300c very easily. That flue temp is way too high. Have you over fired your stove before? If I pack mine like you did early in the season it'll just rage outa control even with the damper all the way to the right. Is this the same case for you?
Yeah I’ve got the temperature in the “ too hot” zone many times. It’s seems it’s impossible not to do. I wouldn’t worry. Your chimney liner /stove/ chimney can handle those temperatures. You just don’t want to run the stove at those temps full time. A few spikes here and there for a bit is ok. Unless you don’t put enough wood in the stove and have a really small Fire I don’t see how you can’t spike the temperatures from time to time
I know it’s late but check your door seal. If your fire is raging when it’s turned down you’re simply getting too much air from somewhere. Find out where the air is getting in.
Yeah keep it on High / Start for the first 15-20 mins or so until the fire is established then slide it down to low. You don’t want a raging fire but a nice consistent burn. Get yourself a stove top thermometer or flue temp gauge to give you a good idea of when it’s time to turn it down to low.
Quick question, I just got this yesterday.. it seems like it takes a long time to heat up my house, I have a Square footage of 1,675 is this because it’s the first fire, or is there a break in. Period? Please get back to me
Is your wood nice and dry and seasoned ? If it’s still pretty fresh that will affect how much heat it throws out. If you have a ceiling fan anywhere near stove turn that on counter clockwise so that tossing the warm air around. You can also run the fan on your furnace to circulate the heat around your house. It’s likely your wood though.. you’ll know when the stove is really cooking. There’s no “break in” period that will affect the heat out put. Buy a small bag of kiln dried wood from the gas station or wherever and see if it makes a difference. Best of luck !
Good morning I just wanted to know how hot can I get this wood-burning stove, I know the inside of the stove will be 800 and the surface temperature will be 700 with no signs of over firing. The stove does not turn red or growing red is these temperatures okay ?
As long as you aren’t using it wide open and turning down the draft to 50% and below once the fire is going I wouldn’t worry. Overfiring will shorten the life of the stove. You’ll get pretty big spikes in temp after you turn the draft down sometimes but try to keep it in the 500-600 range

New stoves don't heat up the pipe that much
This white cat is amazing.

So informative and some fancy fire building!
Love the cat!
very nice!! how close can the stove go from the wall?
Cool! Noticed the Hamilton brick #hamont

My flue gets up to 500-600 Celsius on start up pretty regularly then settles down
Mine stinks, literally. It smells like 'curing' into the third season.

how long do u keep your damper open every time u put in I got the same stove as u and mine is bean Difficult some time when I put wood in
I wait til the log is good and really burning
@pjwats5647 ok I will give it a try
my dad and I bought a house with a Pacific energy super 27 all read in side how long does your burn for never had a epa wood stove before
You won’t get a crazy long burn but you’ll have coals in there up to 12 hours later no problem.
@@pjwats5647 thanks for letting me know i never had a epa wood stove that why I was asking
Question: I have the summit, how do you load this stove.. do you load it close to the door or do you load it all the way to the back ?
I try to load it closer to the front as that’s where the air inlets are but I ensure that the wood is not touching the glass..
I wouldn’t over think it though .. you’ll get sense pretty quick where the best placement is as you use it and try different arrangements
Thank you
do you leave the lever on start when lighting the fire. I just bought a house with one of these and no instructions
Yeah keep it on High / Start for the first 15-20 mins or so until the fire is established then slide it down to low. You don’t want a raging fire but a nice consistent burn. Get yourself a stove top thermometer or flue temp gauge to give you a good idea of when it’s time to turn it down to low.
Πολύ ωραία !
With this fire, how far do you set the air control
I set it almost all the way to low once it’s going. I got by the temp gauge

This is my 2nd year with this stove and I would say making sure dry wood really helps. I am heating up about 2800sqf, and it heats up relatively fast!
@@yacubblackman193 should I load my stove tight ?

that temp gauge is for the flu
This one is a magnetic stove top thermometer. It’s a double walled flue pipe so decided to go with this one instead of drilling into the pipe
@@pjwats5647 if its magnetic it goes on the flu. I've never seen one that drills into the flu.
The flue is double walled and insulated. This one is for on top of the stove
