hi i'm new to the site, I have a new england summer's heat 3000 add on wood. new to the add on wood stoves, always used regular wood stoves. not used to the whole blower set up. I've used it since the beginng of january. It heat's the house up quite well sometime's to well i've had the house up to 84 degree's already. had to open the door's to vent some of the heat for a while. well any way today it is quite windy up here we have 20 mph winds today, and and ashes are coming out of the chimney not sure which caused this to happen. the wife started the fire she used damp kindling from outside with out letting it dry, or was it just to much draft with the intial start up. right now i have the flue 1/2 closed , and the dampner all but closed.
I'm not thrilled about ashes coming out and landing on my roof, they are big black ashes, not glowing. any insight would be helpful as wood not like to repeat this. Has never happened before this. thank's steve
