How do I get the max heat out of my wood stove

Providing you have a good draft; 1) Well seasoned firewood is key. the only sure way to know for sure is to use a Firewood Moisture Meter to test the moisture content in firewood. If your fire isn't burning well and continually needs attention like poking the fire or opening the door to get the fire going then it's very likely that your firewood isn't seasoned well. 2) Try splitting the firewood into smaller pieces and loading the wood stove with more smaller pieces than a few large ones. 3) Certain firewood puts out more BTUs than others. In most areas there isn't much of a choice but when you do have a choice try to get the firewood that produces a higher BTU output. IE: Oak is better than pine. 4) If your chimney has a slow draft you may need to clean the chimney.

Buy a Ball Canning Book it is full of detailed instructions and answers to all of your canning questions. Your stove owners manual will answer your second question. Good luck.

I've all ways burned wood in the stove. There is no need for a base. I've used it on wooden and plastic picnic tables with no issues. I've even left a sheet of paper under it just to see if it would get hot enough to ignite and it did not. If you are using wood as your heat source just make sure not to over fill it, you don't need a lot.

No you cannot remove the stovetop, but you can take off the top grate for cleaning. I did not find that the outside got overly hot, I was camping in cooler weather. Certainly not a burn danger.

Using the stove may not be a great idea, but the heat transfer tip shouldn't be so powerful to fry the vinyl unless something went wrong. Anyway, my suggestion is to use a mini gas torch found in Home Depot or tool department in any hardware store. The torch heats up the tip with which the heat is transferred to the patch area. Don't throw away the torch afterward because it can be used to burn the top of a brulee.

Do you mean a wood-burning cooking stove? Or a woodstove intended to heat your home? Most wood stoves surface get hot, but not enough to boil water. Steamers are usually designed with maximum surface area to encourage evaporation to help keep the humidity at a more comfortable level.

Yes, you just need to make the woodstove hot enough for what you want to cook. A hot campfire is ok, but smoke might become a problem.

yup you burn it in the stove. Suppost to use every time you put wood in but about a teaspoon a day should work, if its an outside boiler- use about 2 teaspoons a day. should work well.

I would think if you have the burners turned up it should reach that temp. I have not done this but there is a possibility the steel will sag if you keep doing this. Cast Iron would be best for this application.

All you need to do is screw the stove onto the fuel canister. I used a Coleman can that I bought at Walmart. Make sure that the arms are extended. Once you have done this, turn the lever on the side. Use a lighter or a match and that is it. It should light and the more you open the valve the more heat. Good luck.

If you are talking about a wood stove yes. I would also use a doorway fan, as the heat rises.

I don't know, but my suggestion is to get on your stove manufacturer's website and ask them the question. That will be your best advice.

I have been using Kingsford charcoal that is very successful. Using the temperature gauge at the top of the kettle is the key, however!!!! In accordance with the instructions, I also did a trial run to make sure I understood how it works.

Ugh. What a question to ask about a WOOD BURNING stove. Humanity is doomed.

Are you referring to the (plastic) tubing or the stainless steel tube? Stainless steel is pretty tough as others have said, but the plastic tubing won't hold up to very high temps, I'm sure. It's just that standard food-grade clear tubing and a couple of hundred degrees would probably melt it pretty quickly. It can easily stand up to hot tap water temps, but I wouldn't subject it to anything near boiling water temps as it will start to discolor (and cloud up). So, a wood stove is definitely out of the question.

Not sure what kind of stove you have exactly, but we use ours on our cast iron wood burning stove and stick the thermometer right on the top. It read very accurately and helps us keep the fire to non-creosote levels. It's great!
