So I have a non cat. stove EPA.
So if I load up the stove I want to see all the wood I put in onto hot coals.. light on fire?
Just the bottom few?
Then I want to see a lot of flames?
Want to keep my primary air intake out a little when things going well not shut down?
Always want to see flames with load in?
I have just had to close it down because my smoke alarm was going off.. and it's 85 in the house so now a bit scared...
Looked at chimney smoke is looking clear to non..
Am I ok or should I be worried... now i've shut it down the flames arn't on the top of the logs anymore..... I think it's cooling down... phew!
Video before shutting down (excuse me, glass is like a mirror)

Really not a fan of the smoke alarm going off when I dont' think there is smoke in the house and I havn't opened the stove door... I didnt' know it sensed heat etc too??
Quick update,,, everything cooled nice and quick, the flue temp dropped to where I feel more comfortable and the temp in the house dropped a degree... I have repulled the intake back out to where I had it,, flames are back on top... still concerned about fire alarm.. It could have been still the paint setting as I havn't had it long and only had small two log fires in it.. not a load like this until today..
