hey guys
when we shut off the stove it does its normal shutdown, blower stays on for about 15-20 minutes or so...
But when it turns off in about 5-10 minutes after we smell smoke in house...Today i noticed that under the stove theres 2 little holes in the front corners that the smoke it coming out..
we clean the chamber pot and surroundings after each burn, even in the 2 little chambers inside ...


We have a King Ashley 5500M

any help would be really appreciated ...

Stan
 
Can you show a picture of the holes and locations. Firebox should be a sealed unit.
 
Front corners underneath

I would seal them up with hight temp rtv. I have read that ppl have sealed them so im assuming it is a common acurance wth the 5500m
