Gang:
I hope you are doing well. I have fired up a new 4300 step top a few times of late, and was disappointed at the amount of smoke spillage, both on startup and while the stove is running. The glass is getting very dirty as well. Here is the setup:
2010 Quad 4300 Step Top
Outside Air kit
Chimney: double-wall Selkirk
Stove Pipe: Double wall selkirk
Runs: 3 feet up from flue collar to a 90-degree bend, 2 feet horizontal into the thimble, outside the chimney goes 17 feet up to the cap.
Obstructions: None-chimney is clean as a whistle, no birds nests creosote etc
I had a 2100 on this chimney last year and it vented like a champ. Is it possible that the still (relatively) warm temps and high winds are doing this? My dealer can't help. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
PS: instead of a 90, what about 2 45's?
