Hi guys I was hoping I could get some help. I think I'm getting too much draft on my heritage even when the primary air is full closed. Reason being with well seasoned wood and now even biobricks to test I can't get burn times longer than 4 hrs it seems. Secondaries will only stay going for about an hour I'd say once everything's charred and flue temps are at 400. My setup is 6 inch single wall 14 feet up in the living room cathedral ceilings. A pair of 45s before it exits with class A 2 feet over the peak.
I'm wondering if because of the length of chimney I'm pulling too much draft and the stove could be overfiring why I'm burning up fuel so fast? Is there a test for this or should I just install a damper? And if the dampers the trick where should I install right on top of stove before pipe connects or after the first 4 footer of piping? Any advice/help much appreciated here just trying to get some longer burn times.
