"We bought this stove last year in October and have LOVED it for the most part.....We had NO heat running from October-March of this year and STILL heated our 1700 sq ft house with this stove...sometimes the house even got TOO hot! My only issue is when the stove gets cold and you have to start from scratch it has a very bad backdraft....we have never had this issue with any other stove but this one....we have had to open windows, turn on ceiling fans and run around house turning off smoke detectors with this. We have tried all things to stop it but it still seems to happen. Like I said ONLY when stove and pipe are COLD, once warmed its all set, but I do warn about the backdraft of smoke. Would still say its a definate good buy in all.."
any of you have this problem, that did not seem related to your chimney pipe?
