Jotul F55 V2 Secondary burn???

[d-dayman]

I’ve been burning the F55 V2 for a few days now. I’m trying to figure out how the secondary burn will takeoff. I’ve had the stove top temp up to 700+ , then shut the primary air down to minimum. The logs will continue to burn, and no secondary burn will kick in. Stove temp will continue to drop slowly with logs continuing a slower burn. By the time, the logs burn down till the fire is no longer visible, the stove top temp is down to 350, and secondary burn doesn’t happen.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong. Just trying to figure this out.

Thanks in advance.

When you chit down the air do the flames slow down and get lazy floating above logs? How tall is your chimney? Maybe you need to turn down the stove sooner?
