OK, newbie burner here.....had my PE vista for 34 days now. Boy, it's nice to finally be warm in the winter. I woke up to some fresh white stuff on the ground this morning and noticed some small black ashes from what looks like paper on the ground. I was late for work so no pics. I'm burning nothing but good 2 year seasoned mixed hardwood with an average stove temp of 450-550. Absolutely no paper in my insert. EVER. With the wind direction last nite, it definetly came from my chimney. Is this normal? Are those ashes/embers hot coming out? If so, that cant be good for the asphalt shingles when not snow covered???? I have not noticed this before....even on fresh snow.
Help before I burn the house down.
