Good afternoon everyone, I am looking for suggestions on drafting issues that have started with my Madison. This is the third year using the stove in this configuration and until now I have not had drafting issues. Now I cannot open the stove even with a very hot fire and prevent smoke from filling the room with the vent fully open.
I assumed that my issue was proper cleaning of the stove pipe, so I purchased a rotary chimney cleaner and cleaned all portions of the stove pipe and roof cap, but the issue remains. So I turned my attention to the stove and made sure to clean all ash from it, but I still have the problem. I do have two 90 degree angles on my stove pipe, one above the stove and one outside the wall, but these have always been there and for two years it drafted fine. Any ideas?
