I am getting a good puff of smoke each time I open the stove. I also have to keep the door open for a good amount of time to get the fire going. I know wood can be part of this but even with kiln dried wood I don't have a very good fire when the air is closed past halfway. Today I noticed that the chimney has a quarter inch gap where it meets the stove and think I'm loosing air here. There is also a couple screw holes left open at the elbows. Any recommendations on how to plug these up and if you think it will make a noticeable difference? Thanks,
Nick
