I have an Osburn 2300 and when it is real windy I get draft back and smoke comes out the back of stove and fills house with smoke. No way to stop smoke from flooding house. I had to pull logs out of stove and take outside to stop fire and back draft.
Last year I had this problem a few times so I added more pipe length and a wind beater cap. It seemed to fix the problem until last night I had really high winds. I do not understand why I can not just close everything on stove and stop smoke from coming in. Is this a malfunction of stove?Normally with normal winds no problem with draft. Damper open or closed does not matter. Fire blazon does not matter.
Any advice is welcome.
I was thinking of putting a damper in my pipe to at least close if back draft is happening.
