Hi guys, i've had a blazeking sirocco for almost 3 years now , sorry for the ultra long story , this really stresses me out because I really don't understans what's happening..
The first year i got my firestove i was burning 24/7 and i was sweeping every month well because my wood wasn't really ready to burn so it wasnt really good for the stove i know.. Everything went fire never got any problems.
Last year and this year I've had the same problem , i burn from time to time and when it's really cold like the last 2 weeks I burn 24/7. So last year after 2 weeks straight of burning i come home at 5 AM i notice my stove is still hot, but completly inactive, perfect crank it to high open the door I see blaze and everything. I put newspaper and some dry wood everything is ok. I notice the needle goes pretty quickly up and I hear some scratching in my firestove pipe (that can't be good) ok im gonna close the bypass and firealarm will go off for sure and yep. In less than 10 mins my firestove went from.fully inactive to active(12 on clock).. I touch the pipes its super hot(its as if it's been burning for 30 mins on high..) i know something is up because the firealarm went off 3 times even though i cant see anything so i lowered it to the minimum and it continued going up and basically consumed everything within 2 hours even though i turned it all the way down.. This year same thing after 2 weeks of 24/7 burning dry wood , i loaded the firestove the day before near midnight when i woke up at 10 am I opened the door to my firestove to see the base of the pipe to see if theres any creosote build up it seemed fine. I went to take a look at my chimney ok some stage creosote little spots not bigger than a dime cool its fine. 11 am touch my firestove still a little hot(completly inactive) high, see some blaze put some wood poof, alright . 10 minutes later i smell some burning im like not again.. And yep firealarm went off , put to minimum again, take off the wood in the firestove( never in 3 years was the firestove that hot) even though i emptied it , needle was still going up and after 1 and a half hour the stove was super hot. I swept the firestove pipe ok ya medium creosote build up, but how? I do exactly what they say always put on high for 30 minutes, after a few hours of burning i put on high again.. I was sure that the pipes from the firestove would mainly burn all that creosote since its always so hot there..
This year I noticed there was a wind noise coming at the base of the pipe connecting to the firestove. At first I was like this can't be the draft.. It was super high like when you hear wind outside blowing at 45 miles per hour..
If you guys could help me shed some light on this I would really appreciate it!
The problem occured twice when the firestove was completly inactive, im 99% sure if it was still active and i wanted to reload it that it wouldn't do that..
Well thanks guys! Sorry again for the long text haha
