If I've learned anything here,
the wood (fuel) is the Number 1 key to good , efficient, successful wood burning.
As in almost every topic dealing with some problem with wood stoves, the most common problem is the wood is not seasoned (dry)
So when I have problems with my stove: creosote issues, smoke issues, temperature issues, and others ,
I say to my self "It's the Wood stupid"
& most times I'm on the right track.
So if you are having any burning issues, start with "It's the wood"
Not seasoned (to much moisture) is the most common one.
