You might want to get a magnetic themometer and place it on the stove pipe. This way you can monitor how hot the stove burns when you shut it down for the night (and during the day). I run about 200 degrees all night and when I wake up there is still enough wood and coals to get a good hot fire going. It's a PIA to always start a fire every time you need heat and saves a lot of wood too. You're going to have to find out where the stove damping is best by trial and error. With the amount of wood you stuffed in there and the right damping you should have not burned all your wood out.

DO NOT send any thing to whats his face (dirt-face/crasher) here on the board. What a scum bag. He screwed (stole) money from me and screwed me on my ME360 and Hondaline 300R engine rebuilds.
