Hello all. First time poster here, although I've done quite a bit of reading over the last months. I'm convinced that there is a wealth of experience and knowledge here, and I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me.
My new stove is a brand new Jotul F400Castine, which I installed myself. Problem: I can't seem to get any regulation using the single main air induction control. Really, it burns way hot and closing the damper lever doesn't seem to phase it a bit. Puzzling also is the fact that opening it wide open doesn't make it that much hotter either. Like I said, pretty much no regulation. I 'm presently burning only three splits at a time, max, because I'm fearful of this thing running away from me.
I've checked to make sure the ash door is shut tight (it is), and that all the seals look good (they do). I've got a call into my dealer, who is consulting with Jotul, but I wanted to see if anyone had similar problems. So far, it seems that this is not a common complaint with a Jotul, that poor drafting is the more common thing. I sure don't have that problem!
Perhaps someone with experience with this stove could give me some insight. Thanks in advance.
