Here is the link to my previous thread. https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/62709/
Last week the owner of the place where i bought the stove came out and put a new baffle board in and he checked the stove all over and he said everything was good. He looked at my wood and said it was fine. Then I built a fire to show him I knew how to operate the stove and he saw I new how to build a fire and the stove hit 600* in no time. He said as clean as the door was and the way the fire took off there was nothing wrong with the chimney but he did not have a draft meter with him. He said that the stove was performing fine. He said he would send their certified chimney sweep out to check the draft so he could give quadrafire a number. He said the stove was not working in this situation and he would call quadrafire and see what they would do about it and he said more than likely they would do nothing and at that time the store would offer a buy back price.
Monday the chimney sweep came out and he checked the draft and when he would check it would go up to .8 then it would settle to .6. The chimney sweep also said the stove was performing properly. He said the stove is designed to run with the draft closed, which I cannot do because the secondary will go out 99% of the time. The chimney sweep said I had a air circulation problem and that I need to run some ducts from the stove to the rooms in my house and put inline fans in them, but I bought a wood stove not a wood furnace. He said he used his central air to circulate the air in his house. He also said that the stove is designed to run with the blower which did not take me long to figure out after the first night of firing the thing and the house was 52* the next morning. I wish they would have told me when I went to buy it you have to have a blower to get heat off of it because I would have never bought it because I want something that will heat the house when the electricity is off. I have tried everything I can think off and gave this stove more than a fair chance and I am completely fed up with it.
