I settled on a BK Princess for my insert stove. I've been burning about a week now and absolutely love it. I've been burning medium to low, the wood I am currently burning is cherry with a moisture content of 15-18.
Today I got home and when I was about to reload it I noticed shiny black creosote on the back wall of the stove as well as near the edge of the door vertical sides. Hopped up on the roof and the underside of the chimney Cap also has it on it.
Anyone have tips or know what might be going on. I know CAT stoves have low flue temperatures and me burning on low could be a problem? (This is my first cat stove) The chimney just meets the 16ft minimum and is an exterior masonary chimney, I could not fit an insulated liner down it but did insulate the top 3 feet or so the best I could.
Thoughts and suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks.
