Me thinks we have found the problem, Houston! :)


well, lets not close the book yet, need to hear back from the OP, if the stove had only been lit a short time it wouldn't have had time to build up like I'm looking for to support this. I have seen this happen and it will make for a good burn for a period of time and then after ash starts collecting in the bottom of the pot closing down the underneath air the balance is lost and more air shoots out under the pot, thus you have less though the pot and it snowballs into a big ugly mess
 
OK ........... Nope, that can't be it....


I still want to know how long the unit had been burning this will be the key, could also be losing it around the cradle gasket, plenty of places to look, but to me its plain the stove is "mis-appropriating air" instead of forcing it through the pot

Did you look at the pics he posted ( 2nd or 3rd page ) doesn't look like any ash on the sides either.

Started out with a chip on his shoulder. Got his problem solved... He doesn't need us anymore.
Probably hasn't looked back to see what else was posted in his thread.
Oh well, we did a good deed.
And to the OP, your welcome.

Another newbie question... And I will thank you in advance ;)..
On these 55-SHP10 type stoves,
(I know they have different names and flavors for basically the same stove),
I have seen mention of people using different heat settings. Like C or D.
I know about the three lower buttons, and what they do (thanks to this forum),
but what about these "letter" heat settings?
How do you tune with those?
(my stove was built in 2013).
