Project-WoodStoveMonitor

UNDER CONSTRUCTION: January 2020 (Another Wood Heating Season!)

Those of us who heat with wood NEED to do these things:

Remember to stoke the stove before the fire gets too far down and is harder to get a new load of wood burning well
Remember to close the stove door if it was cracked open to start a new load of wood quickly.
Remember to turn the stove draft down as we approach a good temperature without too much overshoot
Consider the outdoor temperature and the current indoor temperature as a factor in needed heat output
Monitor the firebox temperature where wood is burning
Monitor the output flue gas temperature to warn of low-temp creosote formation condition
Monitor the output flue gas temperature high in the pipe for a sudden high temperature indicative of a chimney fire, sound an alarm
Later add servo control of stove draft.
