Rangeley back puffing under stove top

[Bub381]

It was puffing around the door which tells me to tighten the latch again and it was puffing under the stovetop around the gasket.Not under the grill,it has done it with a small fire and with primary wide open or at 50%.This is the 2nd time.Sounds like gasket is loose.I looked up under it and it looks almost like the gasket isn't even in place very well.Prob should just call dealer!

is your chimney cap dirty?
loose gaskets should just allow air into the system in a properly drafting chimney, not smoke out

Well it could be but i can't reach it,it's 12 feet above my roof and this roof has a hell of a pitch.Have to call a sweep i guess.I'll brush it this weekend and see what i get for light up there.

Sounds like you are on the right track, someone or thing is compromising your draft.

Draft issue, perhaps exacerbated by milder temps?

Should just get a Fireview.

Yeah the temps are playing with us we know.Fireview is ordered in Honey Glo.lol
