PE Summit Noise - "Ka-Tink" Metal Sound

[BetterCallMaul]

Just had a PE Summit installed. The stove is making a weird "ka-tink" noise...almost like something metal is opening and closing. This doesn't happen when the stove is running - only when it's not being used. Any ideas what this is?

Video below. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Mine make pretty much the same noise (when a bit windy) since it was installed. I think it may have to do with the extended burn.

It is pretty windy tonight in the area. Just took that vid.

Sounds like you are hearing the EBT flap

Yeap, EBT flapper flappin away. You'll notice it more on windy days/nights, and even when you open & close the stove door at times.

Is there anyway to stop the flapping during the warmer months? It can get pretty annoying when it's continually doing this.

Suppose you could pull the baffle and stuff the flue with something. Just be sure to leave a big note in the firebox to remove it before the next fire.

You can pull the cap off the top, and cap it with a 6" PVC end cap for the summer.
This will also keep flies, bees and other critters out while not in use for the warmer weather.

Yep, just ignore it, it is what it is. Your refrigerator and dishwasher make noises too.

I thought that was the sound of money being saved because you aren't heating with gas, oil, or electric as much...
