I thought my recent heat output issues with my insert was do to questionable wood, but now tonight after loading it up with 7 pieces of my remaining limited 3+ yr oak /cherry that I was burning last yr which would burn like crazy with all kinds of heat Im not sure again..
It started out great tonight had the stove up to about 650 with the air shut down in 4 steps in about 30-35 mins... Good secondary's and all at first but slowy and surely over the course of the next hr or so the temp drop to under 400 and secondary's and all flame died out... I know this isn't right...
About the only last thing I can come up with is maybe something is plugged or partially blocking air in some where...Manual doesn't really give any hints on where to start looking
Draft has never been an issue if anything I've needed to be careful to not overdraft at 25', 5-6'above roof line..
Was on roof this afternoon for something else and cap looked fine. Liner was cleaned in early Nov but thinking im going to be doing it this weekend to eliminate any possibility unless it's resolved before then..
14-16hr work days and this issue is leaving me with very little patience..
