When I took the sides off I noticed that the 1 1/2" or 2" vent coming in from the back had fallen off on the inside of the stove. I don't know if this matters or if it is affecting what is going on or not.
stephen, I do have an adjustable draft control, and have played with it quite a bit, but the fire seems like it was burning really well. It was burning just as well as the firesides.
Yeah I am going to return the wet pellets. They seem like a big mess. They are all dried out and just crumble everywhere.
Where is the heat exchanger?
I am heading to bed now, and am about to run the stove, I'll chime back in tomorrow and let everyone know how their advice worked out for me. Thank you very much everyone
