Sorry for the, well effy pic, thick thumbs but just to give an idea of my setup/issue

Hi
Is me, again
I have seen many rmh designs, but i am still wondering, where would the best place be to put your air intake for the rmh, and size, the why on location is more important to me than the where.

Think mine is perhaps too open.

Thank you

Thats pretty much it, i have seen alot of fire places that is very black inside.
But mainly i needed to find out in which range of temps i should aim for when running the rmh.
When its really cold tend to run it much hotter, but once it warms up i prefer using as little wood as possible necessary to keep it from building up soot.
Dont have a gauge to tell me so have to slow it down, then take chimney gas temp, and adjust, after this all i would probably aim for chimney gas of about 200C.

Thanks for the info, was very helpfull, will post a pic, note its a smacked together rmh, not nice and neet like most ones i have seen

Well it is ouside, so there is no mass, the chimney runs straight up, about 3m.
Core is made from 10mm oxygen tank.
Temp is messured inside chimney about 1m from where it start(comes oit of the unit).
But i mostly wont to know at what temp does a firebox burn white and not black any more

Hi
Not sure if there is a thread for this already, if so, my apologies.

I am trying to find out(if any body knows perhaps) at what temp does your firebox burn white instead of black, regardless(or maybe it does matter?) If its a rmh or wood stove or fireplace etc. Trying to tweak my rmh so i dont waste wood, and dont burn the riser to no mans land quickly, as i normally just see how hot i can get it, and then the chimney gas goes abouve 500degrees, which i now found out is actually too hot.

Thank you in advance😉
