First, thank you all for your participation and knowledge sharing, I have lurked this site for some time. I am experiencing a new phenomena with my stove and would love your opinion.
This picture was taken this past Saturday . From my limited understanding, the chimney pipe is looking more or less clean, and the collar is not too bad (maybe I am wrong on this ? ). Additionally, is the disparity between the two abnormal?
This video was taken on the same weekend. As my stove gets up to temp, I am seeing quite a bit of flame coming up the connector/collar, more than I ever recall. I apologize for the fan noise in the background, but you can get a sense of the sound and rate at which it is coming up at anyhow. Note that this fire was not stacked very high in the box, when it is, the sound is much more intense, to the point where it sounds almost violent, and causes me to shut the damper sooner than I often would like. Should I be concerned about this?
This last video is right after I shut the damper, there seems to be quite a bit of noise coming from inside the collar, I imagine due to the temp there is some creosote burning off...but is this at a level that would be of concern to you?
At the beginning of the season i mistakenly burned some moist wood, ~25%..but I caught my mistake early and have almost exclusively been burning deadfall hardwood that is all quite dry.
Sincerely appreciate your input.
