Love the stove but find getting the oven hot enough to cook takes quite a hot fire. Still learning the stove and how best to load. After reading the FAQ here today, I'll cut smaller pc's of wood and see if I can improve the firing. Air supply is good as I run with a window open 2" and have air supply ready to install should it become necessary. Burning all oak and hickory with 14%. Also noticed a pretty good pop in the oven (I assume) is that natural as the box expands with the heat? Love it but still learning.
