Last night I tested out some cherry tree I had cut up this spring. Really liked it, no popping/cracking and burned well.
Once that went out before bedtime I filled the cup full of pellets. This turned out to be too much.
Had a bit of an "overfire" going for about 1/2hr . Pipe started glowing at mid height. I closed the stove damper but just had to let it run its course.
Temp inside reached 85° and was sweating. The fireproofing I did in the door held up great. CO alarm didn't bark at me, so that's good. I did vent the window a bit more when it got really hot.
Now I know how much pellets is too much. Maybe half a cup or 3/4 if it's really cold.
This morning woke up to 40° and didn't want to get out of the warm sleeping bag.
