Here are some pics from the Avalon Perfect Fit that was installed today. Took the two guys (owner and employee) about 2.5 hours start to finish to complete. I was impressed at how cleanly they worked and how professional they were. I guess it is nice to have the owner be the man doing the installation. I have a lot to learn about this stove and how it functions. Here is my first question:
Started burning very seasoned locust about 2 p.m. today. The owner said do not be surprised if it takes 3 hours for the stove to heat up enough for the blower to come on. OK. Hours later, the blower kicks on for 30 seconds and shuts off, 30 minutes later it comes on for 10 seconds, 20 minutes later it comes on for 10 seconds and have had nothing after that. There is a 4 inch deep bed of coals in this thing right now with wood on it. How is this stove not at temp to blow hot air?
I have the top damper shut to draw gases across the tubes. bottom airflow is probably 1/3 way shut. I see secondaries.
Can someone please explain to me what they believe the issue is.
Power to stove is good. I used it for a half hour straight last night to grind some stone and run a vacuum to clean up dust in the fireplace. Blower obviously works.
I am confused. very confused. Owner said stove blower will come on after stove temp reaches 120 degrees. Thanks
