PE super 43 with a cat installed that i bought used. Everytime i open door to load wood it is always a challenge to not get smoke into the house. House is no where near air tight; ive opened doors and windows with no avail. Chiminey is within spec for height off roof and away from peak.
Ive burned wood stoves for years and ive never have this problem.
I just lined my chiminey with 6". Stove flu is 7" with 90⁰ elbow and an adapter to 6" thinking that would help bit it is about the same.
I dont have a baffle at all, i was wondering if anyone has a PE super 43 that can share a picture of inside fire box. If i recall correctly from the manual i found the cat is a factory add-on and when it is added the baffle is removed.
Any pictures or advice would be appreciated.

Super 43? There's a Super 27 but I haven't heard of this one. Cat installed in a PE?? 7" flue? Please post some pictures of this stove. It's an odd one by description.
