Jim,

It's doubtful I will make it to the SBS. But as Timflan said:

I think the Wallas works best, as has been said above, at full speed. you must have it running at full speed when you shut down in order to ensure a good startup later, I think. Running below half heat risks losing prime, especially if you are low on fuel in the bottle.

I usually run at full heat, but sometimes go down to 3/4 speed if I am up and watching it. Otherwise, a cracked window or two will regulate the heat.

Also, in order to better suck up the cold air from the floor, I keep the forward (sink) cabinet door open if I am in the fore bunk. I think the vent C-Dory installs is the normal Wallas vent cut in half. (that little vent strip just under the Wallas on the cabinet face). Keeping the undersink door open reduces drafts and keeps more warm air lower in the cabin.

Scanmarine said I need more ventilation so I added( 4) 2 in round vents for soffits for a roof venting seems to work good . So what I have learned put it on full(6-7) have some ventilation put in new fuel (Kleen) and pray to the Wallas gods and then it should be good. Pat Anderson is right wallas is a overrated stove I just hope i'm finished with this nonsence and can get out and use my boat with a working stove .
