We were burning over the weekend for about 24-36 hours straight, went through about 5 reload cycles on the Jotul C450 (non-cat stove). Temps were never over 600 and kept in the sweet spot most of the time. On reload had some strong flame action as usual before shutting down the air, but nothing to be concerned of from past fires.
This morning went outside and there are black chunks/flakes directly beside the chimney on the ground and on the cars. Cap seems ok/normal based on my observations from below and compared to before.
Is this normal that sometimes a 'crust' gets released from a chimney or cap, or is this something I should be concerned about (sure sign of a chimney fire?). Looking for thoughts on what this might be and actions to take (if any).
Appreciate the thoughts/advice.
