I purchased a Hearthstone Phoenix this past fall and have had a smoking issue with it ever since. Every time I open the door to put wood in, smoke puffs back, and my entire house smells like smoke for hours. If I can not resolve this issue, unfortunately ill be selling this stove. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Just to clarify, I use only 2 year seasoned hardwood. My wood is very dry and burns well. My chimney is not obstructed with any bird nest or anything. And I do have a good draft. I know this because prior to this wood stove I used a Vermont castings and never had a single smoking issue. My chimney also stands around 4ft higher then my roof. I am also not interested in a draft inducer.
Thanks!
