i am new to the forum, and saw this as a better venue to provide me with a host of answers and/or opinions as opposed to a vc dealer. i recently purchased a reolute III and have some questions and concerns.
first, i've been unable to find a downloadable owners manual. every link i have seem to happen across seems to have expired, any suggestions?
2-not at all times, but from time to time when i shut down the damper, i get what i think to be "back puffing". where smoke will billow from left side, and left rear where the top of the stove meets left side and rear wall fpr a brief period. i also assume this will affect burn quality as the fire will be getting more air than what was intended resulting in quicker burns times
3-how is this repaired, and is it an "easy" fix
lastly, inside the fire box, on the right side, there is a hole in the brick like material about the size of a softball. not sure what was there prior or what had broken off. is this repairable, and does it have any affect on the performance of the stove
any help offered would be greatly appretiated
thanks
