I have a Woodstock Classic in my studio. I work with fabric. Wood smoke is NOT OK in my studio and there is no need of it. I have the operation of "my" stove down to a science now and it performs flawlessly with NO backpuffing incidents since mid-November when you guys got me thinking about the building dynamics in a different way. Thanks!
The husband loaded "my" stove late morning (to be helpful) but I discovered late this afternoon that he'd not used the damper controls correctly, leaving the dial control in the "open" position and closing the lower sliding control too far (he also failed to refill the woodbox!). We have an older Fireview in the house and both have the "old" style controls and he knows how to properly operate the stoves. It was just a sloppy oversight, but when fabric is involved smoke is NOT OK. I was furious when I smelled wood smoke in my studio. I politely and firmly pointed out his oversight and received the "hurt" routine. How would you guys handle this?
