For the last couple years our NC30 has not been burning quite right. The biggest thing I see is the blow torch affect from the doghouse no longer takes place. I have replaced the door seal twice , cleaned the chimney multiple times, verified air flow to all areas with a compressed air tank, completed god knows how many dollar bill tests. Fires seem to take a little longer to get going. The only good aspect of this is we seem to be using less wood.
I am pretty confident with our wood now that I am about 3 years ahead. No sizzle or moisture coming out the ends. Glass is staying clean. Chimney only has light powder in it.
So is there any common place that these have cracked or how would you go about finding a crack. If that is a possibilty. Thanks!
