Hi,
I just swapped my Morso 1125 for an Oslo.
It was a shock at first how different the stoves were to run, but I'm getting the hang of the Oslo.
I haven't been able to get the stove over 450F.
My understanding is I should be running the stove between 400 and 600 F
I do think my wood could be drier, but I have been splitting it small and its mostly ash, birch and cherry.
With the Morso I had no problem burning really hot, though I had lots of air.
I'm going to see what happens with some really well seasoned wood.
But I think the problem might be with my chimney. The stove is vented straight up through a cathedral ceiling. The total height including the chimney is around 13', as follows
2' of single wall,
5' telescoping double wall,
6"to 8" increaser
2' single wall to ceiling pass through
~4' double wall air vented chimney system with a cap.
The Jotul manual recommends 15' minimum.
I don't have any smoke issues, the fires start fairly easily thought I crack the door to get things going.
When I redo my roof next summer I will replace the 8"chimney with 6".
For now I will try 1)removing the chimney cap,
2) Adding 2' of 8" to the chimney
3) running 6" inside the 8" ( know it sounds goofy, but I think it can be done safely)
Any thoughts?
Thanks Rich
