How tall is the chimney?

6 mo. split wood sounds a little fishy to me. What kind of wood?

 

[artr1955]

Aged 1 year in 6 foot lengths then was cut and split into stove lengths for 6 mos
Chimney is 24 inches above peak of roof

So is the peak of your roof 12ft above ground or 20?

Most firewood wisdom states that wood does not really season until it is split, some will argue with standing dead wood as an example, but using this rule of thumb, you are basically dealing with 6 mo. seasoned wood. Just say'in.

By process of elimination, get some of that expensive wood that they sell at grocery stores and gas stations. Try burning that. If you have no problems with your stove then you know your problem is your wood. Six months split is normally not enough.
