:-S Hello brothers, does anyone out there own a Tempwood II wood stove? I purchased a used one not to long ago and fired it up just last week. A couple of weird things happened, The first night I cut the draft way down, just a couple of sliver openings. I woke in the night to the smell of smoke, I thought. When I checked it out there was a large puddle of liquid creosote on the cement floor that had leaked out of the stove pipe, (maybe mixed with some water ??? Why else so liquidy?). I don't think that the wood was that wet and the chimney was certainly clean, did it myself. Tried it again the next night with different wood and more draft,-noo problem. Another thing that happened was that when I checked it in the night, I opened the key damper and both vents quickly and all the way, within 5 seconds the gasses ignited and it sounded like a firecracker went off in the stove, wont do that again!. I could use some thoughts on these things and if anyone has a manual I would be willing to pay for a copy,(The manufacturer is out of business). I could use some tutoring on the A,B,C's of properly burning wood, been burning since 2000 but since joining Hearth.com I see that there's more to it than meets the eye.
Thanks!
Thanks!
