Picking up my Nova 2 next week. This will be my review thread

How are you doing with learning to get longer burn times and more control over the heat output? Have you resolved the smoke roll out issues?

I’m struggling with the burn times currently.

I removed my chimney cap. Selkirk is sending me a less restrictive cap to try. I almost quit last night trying to start a fire I had a bad downdraft coming in so I need a cap I guess. I can add 3’ to my chimney. It’s almost no smoke rollout with no cap and a good established draft. Active flame or not. Actually it drafts harder with active flame so it’s almost less Smokey. Unless the flames are licking completely out the door.

Stove runs hot. Average of the last T in engage catalyst.

Picked up my stove. Love the size of the viewing glass. Tried to burn the paint smell off it outside but it still stinks. It’s installed. Burned a smaller fire and it’s 40° outside. Stove seems tight had to keep door pretty cracked to get it going.

I wish I cured the paint outside. Are you still getting any smell or how many fires till it went away?

You'll notice anyone who has bought these stoves has excessive smoke rollout issues. I'm a new owner of the Nova 2 as well. I'll be posting my review shortly.

It did take a few days it seemed like to get rid of the smell. It went in heat temps. If you got it hotter than before it would smell.

I no longer own a MFfire nova 2.

I just installed a Lopi Liberty last night. But in the mean time I had a Lowes Master Forge. It was clearance marked for 300$!
