how do you check for a draft in your stove?
my logs seem to be buring quicker then last year
I have a vermont casting montpelliar
logs are 3x4x18 and last one hour with air control closed
 
Is it a different species of wood?
 
It's pretty cold here so the increased draft might be causing your wood to burn faster.
 
Use a lighter around the door and any other place where you think it would be leaking. The flame will be sucked in and obvious at any leak zone.
