Englander 32- NC

When the stove takes off it is when the back of the fire box secondary kicks in. this is why it takes about a hour for the stove to start to get to hot. I have tried pulling the coals to the front loading N,S behind them which does take longer for the rear to take off but eventually it will still do the same thing. I know using the key damper does work I'm just not happy with how to runs while doing this thru the entire burn. I have multiple sources off wood stacked up I have very dry smaller splits of maple that are around 15-16% on average checking a fresh split and I have larger oak splits that are between 18 and 22% on a fresh split. I usually put some smaller maple splits in the stove and load some of the oak on top of that. If i load the stove east west it will eventually disco inferno in the rear as well. I've read thru the glass wash plate thread a few months ago I looked at mine and it has about a 1/4 to 5/16 gap across the glass square the entire way.

An easy test would be to block off the secondary port at that back of the stove by 50%. This can be done with a strip of metal tape or a flat magnet.

Thanks for the front images. Can you post a side view picture of the stove with the door open so that it shows the airwash diverter clearly? Adjusting this may also present a possible solution as noted in the thread link posted earlier.

The video I posted a little while ago was with the secondary air about 70% blocked off the stove does seem calmer there. what do you think? and yes Ill grab some air wash plate photos

Here are some pics of the air wash plate protrusion past the stove body.

The video looks like a near perfect secondary combustion. Try working with that setting for a bit and continue with aggressively reducing the primary air to keep the flames lazy. The airwash diverter looks about right.
