heard it this evening, fired up the stove and after maybe 45 minutes or so, at about 500* (stovetop; i do not have flue thermometer), i heard it for maybe 15-20 seconds..just faintly. Is this occassionally to be expected? some numbers: installed everything (including liner) in late november, so burning 10+ weeks. We burn only on weekend, and 2 days during the week - so cumulative say 4 days per week. first 8 weeks i had only oak with 3-4yrs seasoning. Last few weeks, all oak and ash under 2 yrs seasoning (maybe 16 months). I usually cruise at 500-550.
Should i expect to hear this every so often?
