That was my wife story a few years ago. She went up to the cabin alone, cleaned the stove and started a fire, as she has done lots of times. In a short time she heard the stove top water pot boiling. It never does that. She knew there was a issue. Long story, 3 fire trucks, ambulance, community security. They were thinking chimney fire. They almost dumped water on it. Luckily they gave up as it ran out of fuel.
My wife called me that night and explained what happened. I got it. Go over to the stove. Get down and look at the ash door. The latch is turned but the door is open. Pull the ash pan out. A pile of ash behind the pan. You can run this stove with the side or front door open, but never have the ash pan door open.
