I hope Chris' email server has a good spam filter, posting addresses like this 😏
 
Much appreciated. I've spent a lot of time reading here but haven't posted before, which turned out to be the issue. I've really appreciated everyone's insights and experience as I picked out stove and prepped for install (A++ for air block in chimney around flue, installers even argued with me about it!).
What was the blockage?
