Good morning to all. I am a newbie on this site, so hello to all. I spent the last few days searching over this awesome site to see if I could find answers to my small problem. I recently installed a Bis Nova fireplace into my home after removing the old metal firebox and chimney. The new stove is in the center of my house so the chimney goes up indoors most of the way. I have a chimney of 12 ft in height and it extends 1 ft higher than the peak of the house. The chimney goes straight up, no bends or offsets. The main issue that we have is that every time you open the door of the stove we get a large swirl of ashes that gets dumped into the air in the house. This is causing a huge mess problem in the house. There is a layer of ash over everything all the time and it is very frustrating. I have not hooked up the outside air kit yet cause I have an older home that is not real tight so I thought I did not need it. Has any one seen this problem before?
Thanks for any and all advice!
