Hi all,
I have a BK Ashford 25 insert. The unit performs beautifully. I would recommend it to anyone. I am very happy with it.
One question: I regularly have small amounts of smoke coming from the chimney even when the cat is fully engaged and well above necessary temps (540°-580°). The wood is all very dry. See the pictures for your reference.
My non cat secondary burner at my other house definitely burns with less smoke than this. I don’t really care very much. I’m just curious of this a normal amount of smoke for this unit?
Thanks.
