    yes! i have indeed learn alot. I have drilled some more holes, but haven't had the chance to test it. Will make a vent for it and see if the hole is big enough to bring oxygen. If that works as planned, i will be able to control the temp with lower vents and the oxygen and draw with upper. its...

    Hi. That has been what i was thinking. The hole that is ther know iss only 1 inch in diameter and if i close the vent by 60% the hole is closed. So i mabe need to get a butterfly vent. Because i obly need to cut it out. The damper is a full size. So will be a easy fix.

    There was no problem having a good fire when i closed of the CC and left the firebox door wide open. Didnt make smoke even. So good was the fire. So i am leaning about th fact that the firebox dosent get air when i close the door. And this make the firebox get a backdraft so the wood it smoldering.

    Thank you. I will try to do that instead of adding unlit coals. Maybe it goes faster to get a the steel hot and good. The water hose was a good idea!.
