I have using Englander NC 30 and noticed that after 2 weeks of burning when I open the stove door that I start getting smoke in the home. I di not get this after a fresh cleaning and it takes about 2 weeks for this to occur. I do not think that it is the wood. It is well seasoned, lights up fast, and burns pretty well. Avg temps are 500-550. I get about 8 hours of burn (fire to usable coals) if I place the intake almost all the way in. I have about 6.5" of teloscoping dbl wall stove pipe and 16 ft of Metal Best Class A chimney with 15 degree offsets. I am burning a combination of tamarack/red fir/pine. I have noticed that if I have more air coming through the main intake, then I get a little more time in between cleanings. I burn 2-3 full loads per day. The stove is in the basement. Any advice or comments on how to overcome this. Every 2 weeks on the roof is a little irritating.
IN my guest house, I have an old Hearthstone H II with 6 ft of single wall pipe and 14 ft of metal best class a chimney. It does not get cleaned more than once every 2 months and is burned at least 2 times per day by my brother.
Any advice or comments on how to overcome this. Every 2 weeks on the roof is a little irritating.
Thank you,
Ray
