I am trying to determine if user experience with the Progress is correlated (or not) with particiular flue setup. I'm hoping only Progress owners will post their setup with the format I started. The important points:
FLUE: Interior or Exterior/lined or unlined/size/height/insulated/Horizontal sections
STOVE: Backpuffing/cat stalls/smoke out stack/smoke spillage on reload or NO ISSUES
Fire_man
Flue: 15 feet of uninsulated 6" SS single wall thru an exterior chimney. 10" Horizontal section.
Stove: Some backpuffing, smoke spillage with open door when outside is about 50 degrees. Cat tends to stall when outside temps are above 50, burns much better when below 30 degrees out.
I recently double wrapped it and am waiting to burn more.
