Following a rolling brown out that repeated itself unnannounced to us at 11 degrees several times before noon, I decided it was time to pull out the remnants of an old circa 70's black sheet metal stove we had removed for insurance purposes...apparently we were under insullated beneath, and single wall was not permitted.
I beefed up the underlayment, extended the clearance, and replaced all the pipe. Minor problem with smoke in the room. The insert is in less that perfect condition with rust holes in the middle and is this the reason for the smoke? If so wondered if a new insert could be installed, or if the existing piece could be made solid using a wire mesh patch and some of that high temp stove goop.
Another possibility, if anyone recognizes from my subject line the type of stove this is...there is no other mechanical damper to adjust, and should there be, to control smoke direction.
Thank ou out there for any help. Of course now the temps are in the 80's..but I'LL BE READY NEXT TIME!3]
