He knows that stove. Footnote, tho: fresh wood is loaded with volatiles that outgas when heated. If you don't do everything he said (and thought) PERFECTLY, it will fill stove pipe with 1,000 deg flames ...to the top. This is a double black diamond technique.
I wouldn't recommend sitting the stove directly on a wood floor like you have it. In a lot of states that violates code and you might not get homeowner's insurance coverage if you accidentally burn down your house. There are 2 basic problems with this setup: 1) even with the ash pan underneath the floor gets pretty hot from the stove; and 2) when you open one of the stove doors you can have hot coals fall out onto the floor causing ignition.
@@james55982 I've never seen ceramic tile with a woodgrain pattern. There may be synthetic tile that looks like wood but that would not be sufficiently fireproof.
Hey thanks for the comments and concerns. I tiled my entire house with wood look porcelain tile . I installed this wood stove and had everything inspected by the town and it passed because nothing is combustible around the wood stove .
Do you have to run the stove wide open for a while before damping it down? Is that the way you load and set the stove for an overnight burn or were you just showing where to set the air controls at?
Hey CTSCAPER, you can set your air controls to what ever you’d like , that would depend on how cold it is outside and how well your wood is seasoned . I’n the video I have the air controls set to positive because no smoke comes out when you open the door to load . I am loading it to go to bed for the night . 10 + hour burn time every time with no complaints . I’ve used a few wood stoves in my time and this wood stove is pretty good . My only CON would be if you leave the bottom door open to get air flow going to get it ripping hot , the catalyst will burn out and warp within one years time . I was lucky enough to get a new catalyst because it was under warranty still .
I would run the stove wide open for a couple hours ONLY when you’re first starting it up if the stove was sitting cold and or if it’s really cold outside . Hope this helps .
Hey , I love this wood stove . 1800 SF HOME. Does well , have to cut my pieces of wood 18-20” long and smaller chunks than usual but does very well for us. We burnt out our Catilyst the first year and they replaced it for free. But I think I burnt it out from opening the bottom clean out door to get a draft going . It got to hot maybe . Haven’t had a problem since .
Depends on type of wood I guess and how well the wood is seasoned . I burn red and white oak seasoned over a year . I get 10 hour burn time on the “negative “ setting .

@jeffwhite9028 I’m very confused. Who knows?
If I don’t do everything he says ?
What’s everything he said?
Thanks,

It’s not wood. It’s ceramic tile. Look at the mortar between tiles. 😊
@@andrewk1191 I don't think so. I think the ash residue has colored the gaps between boards so that it looks like grout or mortar.
I’m pretty sure it’s tile man.

Nice stove man!
Thank you! Wife and I love this Jotul . Heats the entire single level 2000 SF home.
Dry wood is key for a good burn too
@andreweast2121 YES SIR! 😎 I’ve burned semi green wood and it’s terrible . Always burn dry wood , I learned my lesson a few years back .

@@EvonFarmFlowers With my older stove you have to run it wide open for 10-15 minutes before damping it down, in stages, for the long burn.
Assuming you are using dry wood go wide open air for 15 to 20 minutes then damp it down or you will overfire.
How are you liking your V3 is it still working well for you have you had any problems

Maximum time burning?

I burn red and white oak seasoned over a year . I get 10 hour burn time on the “negative “ setting .
Ciao quanta autonomia tiene con una carica che si fatto?

I'm sure that you have a few carbon monoxide detectors in place throughout the house.😉
