Hello all,
We bought a house that had an existing Matherly wood stove insert. I fired it up last night for the first time and had no issues. I do have some questions though. There are 4 dampers located on the front of the stove, what is the best method to use with 4? Also, I noticed when i started the electric blower that the smell of wood burning. There was no smoke and our carbon meter that is located inside the den never registered anything above 0. I guess my question is will that faint smell always be present? It wasn't overbearing but it was distinguisable. I did opened the the doors quite often to check the 2 logs that were burning as this was a test of the system itself. I can not find any info on the brand Matherly online. The blower was blowing warm air not hot as the fire wasn't large. Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks for this website.
