Going through the dollar bill gasket check on the door and realize I've never paid much attention to the glass gasket and WOW the glass wasn't square on the door and thus not sealed on one side. This was professionally installed...not good. Good reminder for everyone to do their maintenance checks etc.

Excessive draft with short burn times. In short I couldn't really get the fire to calm down....hadn't really seen a lazy flame in the stove yet. Would chew through a full load in 4 hrs easy. I had assumed with my 25ft+ pipe that it was just a function of the install.

Nice catch and an easy fix! Way better than having to install a damper and having to fiddle with that everytime you start the stove.
