Starting up the stove for the year, so good so far... the stove itself works fine, now that I have my replacement exhaust starter tube gasket installed. While testing, noticed that small amounts of smoke escaping from the segments of the vents. So turned it off and decided to do some searching/researching.
I have the stove kiddie cornered and close to an outside wall, so the pipe run is relatively short. I didn't do the install, but I'm questioning a lot of things these days, and this seems to be on the list now. The all seem fully interlocked... but I'm still seeing smoke once it starts going.
As a general concept, should each of the exhaust segments be rtv sealed?
Is the sealing normal installation behavior?
