I have Simpson double wall stove pipe from the stove to the liner. I'm wondering if one of the inside seams in the double wall could be leaking a bit. I get a slight smoky odor on the stove top around the cat probe in front of the convection deck.(straight out from the pipe) I only get this when the blower is running. It seems like the blower is pulling the odor out of the bottom of the double wall stove pipe adapter. With the convection deck I could see it creating a bit of a vacuum across the bottom of the stove adapter.
I could also see the issue being caused by a draft issue since it seems to only be a problem on low burn. The only reason I'm not leaning that way is due to the stove consuming all the wood on low burn, the cat staying active during the duration of the burn and the draft is good. Not much I can do to improve upon 27' of insulated liner. I could swap out the 90* elbow for 2 45's if it comes to it.
The smell is slight and not enough to get into the rest of the house, I only notice it when I'm on top of the stove.
The double wall is on it's third season(minus the stove adapter that is new this season) and I have to pull it all a part every time I sweep the chimney since the chimney doesn't have a clean out.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
