So with the great weather today (~60 degrees and cloudy) I decided to burn off all the grease and nasties from the previous owner in my new to me offset.
Things I learned:
-it takes longer to heat up - much longer.
-the sliding side air vents are not very useful
-both thermometers are shot
-temp from one side to the other is about 40 degrees off
-pretty much all the handles get hot
-I need more wood
but OMG all I want to do is keep figuring it out.
Using wood was not as hard as I thought, I was riding 300 in the chamber for about an hour after shoveling a bit of embers around in the fire box and throwing a new split on them.
