Why does my clean burning stove burn dirty

[VirginiaIron]

I believe this is some helpful information for some of us who may have difficulty learning how to use a clean burning stove properly. This information has helped us. There was a learning curve with our new stove. We are getting consistent clean burns. I think a clean burning stove is only as good as the supply of fuel and the knowledge of the operator. Of course, follow your particular manufacturers instructions. If you have other links or good information please post it here. I hope it helps someone and thanks for reading.
