Hello, I have a 2022 PE32. I love in South East Michigan so heating season is 3-4 months. I have noticed decreased burn times and significantly more smoke and smell out of the chimney the last couple weeks. Earlier this year we had a cold snap (-10f) and I ran the stove hotter than I normally do,
Investigating the Catalyst I have found that it is pulling away from the sides. Is this normal? Is this combuster worn out? What ruined it? The door gasket passed the dollar bill test at the beginning of the season and again last night. I never open the door without opening the bypass, but do refuel hot. I am burning Oak, Cherry, and Locust.
