If you keep melting that hose you are loosing alot of heat out your exhaust

So why would that be happening

That's what I don't like about the englanders is not enough adjustability, especially with the mods you have done.you improve the burn but can't control the additional heat enough to get it through the heat exchanger instead of out the exhaust.

Agreed but it's what I got. Guess it's a trade off with the mods. Does anyone know what the exhaust vacuum hose controls or monitors? In other words is it looses vacuum what does it affect

It senses that the blower is working and that you don't have an exhaust blockage.if either occurs it shuts down the stove.

Lol makes sense but now I wonder if it was even working. Cleaned the stove today and went to unhook the hoses for the leaf blower and noticed the exhaust hose was just hanging on the nipple. With the bottom half of the hose crumbling and falling off. Stove was up and running fantastic until I turned it off.
