hey guys i have a used fireview and the chimney liner is 18ft tall. yesterday got it hooked up so decided to do a small fire let it go out the did a bigger fire with what i thought was a decent amount of wood used for the temp outside it was about 45. i need help on starting this thing correctly. as i dont think the stove was warming the house up enough. i engaged the cat flames were real so moving but not too many flames just a couple flickers. air was all the way open. should i close the air down to one or what? it only raised the temp in the living room about 8 degrees. also the stove is installed in front of a fireplace that doesnt have a block off plate. so can i have some suggestions on how to start the stove and how much will a block off plate make a difference?
