thanks for the PDF bro, though the manual wasnt all that informative (most arent) for what i was looking for.
as for the issue in general, yeah i think its flue related as well though the 14 ft stack i would think would pull the stove if he's got the bypass open. what im concerned with is that we may have a different part of the roof not necessarily next to the chimney which could be causing his issue. he had in a different thread talked about how the stove would burn one day not the next, and he had mentioned "the closest peak" in a post , im curious if there is another higher peak which even if several ft away can cause difficulty
Maybe just not sure on the roof thing the other roof peak is 20' away and only a feet teller then the peak beside the chimney. That would be 2' teller then that roof peak that is 20' away. Should ECO brick take off like a rocket? Thanks you all for you help.
eco bricks are like a big azzed pellet, they need a good kindling base establiched. they are very dry but quite dense so they can ba hard to start a fire with.
are you running with the bypass open?
