I recently installed a Harman Accentra 52I insert and removed a Jotul wood stove. I'm having issues with my flame jumping, rumbling furiously. Not constantly however. I installed it using my existing 6" stainless flue, thru masonary chimney (about 25 ft) and offset box due to a stone face on fireplace. I was told by my dealer that this was fine. Always had good draw on the Jotul.
My setting are feed rate of just under 4, room temp 2/3, 4- 4.5 temp.
I have an old 200+ year old stone house so it is not very tight. I can feel it drawing air under doors and around windows.
It seems like maybe it's starving for intake air (no OAK installed, told not needed) or the 6" exhaust is drawing out too quickly (if that is possible??) I've burned about a ton of pellets and have not cleaned the exhaust as yet. I do clean the blowers, firebox, etc. every 5 bags.
Any help would be appreciated. I enjoy reading everyones posts.
