outside temp about 28*. stove has been running for several days straight. i had the last load down to a good 2inch bed of coals. added 3 med splits in a triangle position. soon as they lit i closed the damper. everburn took right off(lucky). closed the air down to about half way and went back to my lazy-boy.
i went back to check on my girls about 20 minutes later and noticed there was no flames in the firebox. only coals on the bottom. scary thing is everburn rumble was rippin! it didnt feel like the stove was putting out any heat. stack was hotter than usual. crusing at 550-600. too hot for my comfort. i opened the bypass and tried re-arranging the splits. they would light off again but soon as i closed the damper same as above would happen. i just let it burn down to coals. at the end coals were very bright.
what the heck happned? im about ready to turn this stove into a mooring and go back to pelletts! i'm going to pull the stack pipe off today and get a good look around. how often should door seals be replaced? this is the third season i belive.
