Hopefully, your flame looks like this > www.pensandcalls.com/castile.mpg

Is there a way to post videos on here directly without having to load them onto your personal website or some other site?
 
I don't think so, but using Dropbox is easy enough.
Thanks, chken. Never tried Dropbox. I'll take a look although I can just drop stuff into my site easy enough. I just thought I remembered seeing videos on here.
 
One little trick with the vent cleaning brush: unplug and plug the stove back in before you do the brushing. This starts the exhaust blower and will help blow the loosened ash out. Turn the thermostat down so that it doesn't want to start up.The blower will run for about 10 minutes which is more than enough time to do the cleaning.
 
After I cleaned the stove pipe and the blowers started I set the stove to low fan and it ran like a charm. I haven't run the stove on low since I had it installed.

I was even able to open the feed gate up more and BAM! feed issue disappeared.

It's 7 deg out right now and the house is 70. Earlier this week I couldn't get it above 60. What a difference!

I think I learned some valuable lessons about my stove this week. :)
