Hi Everyone,
I am new to wood burning and just had installed a CEMI Concept 2 insert connect to a 8" linear with a custom made boot to fit over stove and the Chimney is 16' tall. The problem I have having is starting the stove and keeping it going. I have tried kindling and firestarters and very seasoned wood, but when I start a fire with the doors cracked I get some flames and the fire starts building. I have even let it go for over 30 minutes with the doors cracked but when I close the doors the flames die off and the fire goes out. Both of the air intakes are fully open and the damper is open. I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Many Thanks,
Cliff
