I was suspicios of the wood my eldest son gathered for the stove monday. We have had daytime temps in the 60s last week so we only did a small fire monday night and last night. My wife said she had a hard time getting the wood to burn today. and when I pushed in the bypass tonight we got a whiff of wet smoke. so after watching the fire struggle for another half hour, I opened up the stove and looked at the cats. completely clogged. I am wondering how they could clog so fast but it doesn't matter because I have to tear down the stove this weekend and clean the cats. This is gonna suck. Not really what I had planned for my time.
