Anyone run into issues with the E-Classic 3200 not reaching temps to go into gassification? I purchased a used 3200 in excellent shape. The first winter it worked really well. The last several seasons it has been a struggle to keep it burning. I have done a thourough cleaning and using good dry seasoned wood. However, I have never seen this thing reach temps for gassification. Even here working it now it got up to about 300 deg and now the temp is falling again. Water temp is at 160 so it did not even get the temp up to set temp of 185. Currently in first stage but when I open the door the second and third stage dampers open as scheduled. I open the door and the fire is barely burning, but I poke it a bit and it will start to take off. This has now happened the last several years. Anyone see this or have a fix?
