Are We Feeding a Potbelly?

“Our rule of thumb is never put in that last piece of wood.”
in Controlling Heat From A Cabin Woodstove.

A good analogy may be heating with a potbelly stove, where a delay between adding fuel and gaining heat risks a wasteful overshoot, above comfortable room temperature, akin to the rise in weight after eating too much.

There are many strategies that increase heat loss, but a fundamental approach is to “never put in that last piece of [f]ood.”
