for a few days and about 5 Anzündvorgängen I have the Anzündkorb in use.
It works as described. Thus, I am very satisfied.
The Basket 3/4 fill with Pallets, something Anzündpaste it and then put two pieces of wood on it. Brennpaste fire, close the oven door and the oven vent open - Done.
I have never been in my oven as clean to burn the wood, as with this Anzündkorb. I have almost no smoke and no soot in the furnace chamber. That's really great. But I like to accept the additional costs for Pallets and Anzündpaste that are very, very low expected at each ignition process down. Even though they are of course higher than if I'd only use Anzündwürfel that I put directly on or under the logs - as before. Kindling I anyway have never genutz / used.
Certainly disturbs the Anzündkorb in the oven if you want to hang up another timber after first light the stove. But for that I have my own - made solution - very simple. I just take my furnace tongs and pick the Anzündkorb out of the furnace after the Pallets are burned and before I hang up another timber. I have two galvanized bucket in use. In a bucket, I fill the pallets, so there is always something available if I want to light the stove. In the second I put the bucket Anzündkorb when it has served its purpose-Anzünd. Although he at the moment is of course extremely hot and glows ... no longer is working fine and so is the Anzündkorb me also in the way when he has done his Schludigkeit.
Whether the Anzündkorb permanently retains its shape - remains to be seen.
Right now I'm 5-star satisfaction!
Greeting
Georg
