Hello everyone,I had a mt. Vernon installed two weeks ago and seemed to be running fine(other than getting a smell of smoke when shutting down).Last night it was fairly windy here and the stove kept shutting down before reaching set temperature.It would flash vacuum switch error,spew out what I would call a large amount of smoke,shut down auto clean then re-start.It did this a few times.I’m guessing the exhaust vent might have to be modified.It comes out of stove into a clean out-t out the wall,up about 4’ than has a slight downturn.
This morning(not nearly as windy)the stove is working fine again.Any information to help diagnose would be appreciated.Great site-been on it since decided to go with a pellet stove.
