Bought a new PE Summit and like a lot of other posts I searched it just doesnt seem like it gets enough air to get going, first of all the wood is dry, doesn't matter the paper and kindling do not get going that well with the door closed, I took off the plug in back helped some but not like you would think, it has good draft I can open the door and get nothing in the room and the thing never back drafted on old stove either, I need a stove that is not a hasssle due to it being my only source of heat and I thought this was it. After reading so many posts with the same problems I felt worse, some of the people never come back and said if they got their to stove to work any better or not and a couple had wood that was not dry but a lot leave the topic hanging. Not sure what else to look for, I know this is a good stove but I need one that is easy to run for the wife and I do not want to spend time being a nurse maid to it either, it finally gets going after a while but struggles to get there, right now the stack is at 300 degreees and stove top (with trivet removed is about 150. In a little bit I am going to go cut a load of wood but my heart is not in it!
