My 25-pdvc has a good burn, but the flame rumbles randomly in a circular motion like a tornado.
It's just a slight noisy irritation at this point.
I burn somerset's exclusively for past 10yr. and moved stove outside back in the summer , to do a thorough clean out.
Any ideas what would be the cause?
 
Mine (different stove) does that often at startup. Looks neat. Never thought anything wrong, probably just the way the airflow bounces around vs the heat rising.
