Finally got the oslo hooked up in the basement. Felt like i had better get it done and ready for any cold weather. Having read on here all about the woes of a basement install, I tried to mitigate the best i could. Top vented the collar, used two 45s rather then a 90. It is an outside chimney, 8x8 clay tile. We have mild weather right now a bit of rain. While the stove was a bit sluggish to get rolling, being fresh and clean, I'm finding it smoking a bit...the wood is just fine, the fireview is eating the same 2 year stuff.
I'm wondering if I'm hitting a second learning curve, not having run the stove in a year. Did i get too used to the cat? I used to think the stove was so simple to burn clean. And now its got 8 more feet of draft...
Any ideas I'm over looking?
