ive been burning for the past few days whether i needed to or not in an attempt to see what the stove can do and to try dialing it in for the best burn.well its been a struggle to say the least.
pretty basic install with 4" pipe,t off stove with a 45 to get pipe centered on stove,10ft vertical thru roof and cap.oak also installed.
stove is set to premium pellets and running on factory setting of 3 for combustion trim and pellet feed trim and ive been trying both trebios and green team.
the 1st fire i had seemed very active so i tested it with the magna gauge and the reading was very high.the needle on the magna was pegged all the ways to the right telling me i had to much draft.my magna goes from 0 to 0.25.the recommended setting for the stove is a reading of .15 to .17
with the stove running on high fire i cannot get the recommended reading.draft is pushed all the ways in and the magna is reading .21 telling me i still have too much draft.adjusting the combustion trim down doesnt help much either .so with that much air why am i getting such a dirty burn.ive burned just under 2 bags and ive had to clean glass twice already.big arc of black ash running from bottom right of door to top left of the door.
all of this is telling me that i do not have enough air but the magna is telling me different.
heat from the stove is not great.on medium fire (#3) i can hold my hand 6inches from the stove and keep it there.fire seems very low and does not get above the burn pot.any help woul be greatly appreciated.will get some pics up ltr 2day
