So my englander 25 pdv wasnt pumping much heat out. Checked my EVL level. I am under 3000ft and im got a level of 17
Here was my setup.
45 off the stove - 3
2ft horizontal - 2
Tee- 5
3ft vertical- 1.5
90- 5
1ft horizontal 1
End cap

I changed it to a 90 off the tee to a 1 foot piece to the termination cap

Can you have an EVL that is too short??

Too little EVL I have never seen to be a problem.However,certain stoves,known for weak draft,require vertical. Your stove-- "We recommend a three foot (3’) minimum vertical rise on the inside or the outside of the dwelling." From the manual.
