heating the room

[Ajickey]

Sorry if this has already been posted, I have read through the forums.
I have a madison wood stove 15-SSWO1. Fire burns great, the secondary burn works, in fact all is running good. But the hot temps stays inside the stove acting more like a kiln or cook stove. If you open the door the blast of heat will burn your face.
Now how do I get that heat to come out and warm the house.
Even with the blower on, I can sit 2 feet from the stove. Yes this is a totally new type of stove to me. Use to an ashley wood/coal stove.
Any help would be appreciated thankyou

What is your stove top temp?

Welcome. Describe the flue setup in detail from stove top to chimney cap too.

Well you right as the emissions standards go up these stove manufacturers insulate the fire boxes more and more
and have more insulating type baffles. As the more heat that stays in the fire box the more efficient the stoves burn
and they can meet emissions.

Now make sure your closing the input air down as its not all about flames in the stove. Its more about the heat.
You maybe leaving your input air open too much and the heat is being flushed up the flue.

How long burn time are you getting with a full firebox of wood. If your wood is a little too much moisture people
tend to leave the input air open a little wider to compensate so your getting a cooler burn dues to too much moisture
and flushing heat up the flue due to a more wide open in put air makes for a double whammy on getting heat out of your stove.

You can get a moisture meter from Lowes for around $30 and split your wood and check the inside surface of the wood.
20% moisture or less is what you want.

What is your stove top temp?

On the top of the stove the temp reads 182 degrees

6inch pipe from stove top, through the wall into double insulated stove piping. All guide lines where followed when professionally installed

Stove temp is low. Where is the thermometer placed and is this the hottest recorded temp?
How tall is the chimney outside?

 

[Ajickey]

With the input air (damper) closed I get a full 8 to 10 hours of burn time. That damper handle even gets too hot to the touch. Internal temperature is over 609 degrees but the outside temp is around 180 ,200.
The stove piping itself reads 110.

The Madison gets good reviews here so fear not. As already was said that temp is much to low. Just to give you an idea and assuming you picked a good spot for the thermometer, ballpark temps when running are 450-650ish.

If the wood is dry enough to allow the air to be turned down, the temp of the stove will go up since you're sending less of the heat up the chimney. If the fire starts to die that suggests wet wood which is about the most common issue new owners struggle with.

Give total length of chimney and if there are any bends since its also possible that its a draft issue.

These are very low readings. The two primary suspects are poorly seasoned firewood and/or weak draft.

What is the outside chimney height? Has the wood been properly tested for moisture content?

He may have increasing draft problems because of creosote buildup because of low flue temperatures, too.

I'd sweep the flue and cap now, and start burning hotter. Check your wood to see how dry it is.
