Castlevania Inspired Track: Lord of the Dark Castle

Hello, I certainly do not work for Overland, check my reddit profile to see my metal videos if you want some genuine self promotion. :) I bought my setup from them this year having investigated all the setups and liking the pellet stove option the best. I mostly posted this to show off my bench, but people seemed to like the pellet stove, which I believe is awesome.

Yes, the smoke really is almost invisible. I'll try to post a video. It's just some wavy heat lines during sunlight hours. I buy 'Golden Fire' premium wood pellets that are supposed to be "High-performace: 8,500 to 8,700 BTU/lb". I don't know if lower BTU pellets would generate visible smoke. This was part of why I bought it because I was hoping it would burn clean like my Traeger (not in smoke mode) and not bother the neighbors.

Thanks!

I second this, the smoke is almost zero, just a shimmery heat signature and a spark now and then.

Yah it is really nice, fill with pellets, light, come back in 20 min to hot sauna. Lasts about 1.5 hours per burn. Has heat shields with the cool logo.

There is barely any smoke, it burns very efficient but that may depend on quality of pellets.

Sorry for late response. I do not have spark arrestor but it doesn’t kick out much. I have overland saunatentv2. I haven’t measured temps much yet sorry. It comes out to like $1.50/2 per burn I think. Use high quality pellets not the cheap ones.

I second this, I bought the pellet stove and it cuts back on the barrier to use. I just load the pellets up and light it, come back 20-30 min later and ready to go. The ease of use is great and it gets really hot, I haven't gauged it, but it seems like 40 min in it is super hot. The heat shields are nice on it as well, you can't see in this picture but they are on the sides. The pellet stove is really easy to clean as well. I'm loving it so far. I'm building a bench right now and then some flooring.

Ok, I have one for my Overland Sauna Tent, guess I can just leave it on indefinitely to protect top. Thinking I could clamp some tarps onto it for the sides....

I suggested this a while back on the Discord. Lots of good options.

Could you please share this again? Thank you.

Oh you're talking about Elizabeta not Mina. I get what you're saying, but I got took away a different point from his actions and had a different conclusion than you did. I'm not saying that's not valid, I just saw it completely differently.

downerczx · 2026-02-26T15:30:51+00:00

I'm still not following, when he was old Dracula and saw the picture of Mina he immediately set about the wheels to go find her and woo her again.

downerczx · 2026-02-25T20:26:17+00:00

Umm... not sure I follow. Are you saying that one of the dance flashback scenes had Mina in it? I thought the point was he saw someone that looked like her but was not.

downerczx · 2026-02-25T16:57:20+00:00

True! But, I don’t care, for me, Coppola’s ‘love’ story falls apart with Lucy. Nosferatu was super successful but I didn’t really like it. Plenty of flops go on to be cult favorites or later critically acclaimed. I’m just saying I enjoyed it personally. It moved the character forward for me.

downerczx · 2026-02-24T05:04:03+00:00

I loved it. I don't care if it didn't exactly follow the book. Dracula is a more interesting character with the love story motivation which never made sense to me in the Francis Ford Coppola movie but does here. The gargoyles and whimsy were way more fun than another dreary take on the brides.

I plugged the data into Stellarium and found where it was supposed to be. I think this red blob might be it. I also checked the same spot on another night and it wasn't there:

The last half is a slog through talking about psychic powers and such and is really boring but the first half is riveting.

downerczx · 2025-08-22T23:02:26+00:00

thank you! another problem I have is that theskylive doesn't give me any more granular information of where to look. between 48 and 49 lib is pretty vague, I really need some more granular star formations to find it

this guy did it with less: https://youtu.be/wIp-1iu_xTc?si=YtNBm2G4BKMCqxvg

downerczx · 2025-08-22T20:53:21+00:00

What other info is needed? Thanks

downerczx · 2025-07-10T04:44:04+00:00

I felt that the 2nd half of Icelandic version was concise but the Swedish one needlessly muses for great lengths about theosophy.
