Pavan the charcoal you use is it just the charcoal we use for grilling and what type of grate do you use? I would like to spend less time with wood cutting and more time hunting LOL.

I've run them at a little over 10k and there is a trick, you have to hold a flame to the pilot light and the thermocouple sensor that is right there with the pilot flame for a few seconds and then it will keep going, you will need to do this for like 20-30 second all the while holding down the control knob in the pilot light position.

[/b]That's a great tip Dave. I've never run mine at 10000 but I have at 9000 without problems. With the exception of the fuel doesn't seem to last very long. So we use it for initial heating before bed. Maybe once in the middle of the night to get the chill out and then again in the am. Those four dog stoves are sweet. But holy cow $$$$!! [/b]
