I swear this stove is driving me nuts. With the damper open and air up my fire barely maintains. The only way I get enough air is to open the ash pan. So I open it with in min my flue temp is near 800.so I shut down the damper flu temp drops but my stove temp won't go above 200..
I had a good bed of coals from the overnight. Rake all the ash out placed in 3 large logs and I can't get the fire going without opening damper and theash bin. I know the air control is working I can physical see the shutter open and close. What am I doing wrong!
I also can't get my stove to go above 200 and my flue temp below 400. Which am I going off of to know my cat is working.
