Hello everyone, been reading the forum for a while and have a problem.
Last night I tried to start a fire in my Nashua stove. The stove was cold. I couldn't get the fire to start, to the point that the house filled with smoke. Paper wouldn't even burn unless the door was open. This is the second time this has happened, both times it occured at night when the stove had been cold all day. (Yes the damper was open)
The specs for my setup are: A Nashua stove with 6" pipe, a 45 elbow at the base of the stove, 4' straight up with a damper in the middle. A 45 elbow going out thru a reducer/expander, going thru the block, into 8" ss double wall all fuel pipe, which runs up the side of the house (single story rancher) thru the soffit about 4'.
I'm assuming this a draft problem. I was even using a hand held torch to try to get it to lite, to no avail.
How can I fix this? Any suggestions?
Thanks, Spencer
