Well I guess i wouldnt have made a good boy scout or survived very long on a deserted island.
Every time i feel the fire "catches" and has a good burn going, as soon as I close the door it kills it. I have searched the forums and read a lot of threads about this. I went out and bought supermarket wood to eliminate the seasoned wood variable. And its not working with that either. My chimney is definitely long enough. I've tried burning e/w and n/s. and using the vent control lever above the ash box when the door is closed doesnt really affect the fire at all, its like its not even working.
So maybe im just building it wrong?
