Chinook 30 not heating the house

[Bambi W]

Hello trying to figure out what I am doing wrong or if there is a problem with my new stove.
We have had our Chinook 30 installed professionally. 22ft of pipe. We have a new construction house. Cold air intake installed and using energy logs. I can't get the house warmer than 59 degrees. In fact if your not standing directly in front of it your cold. The fan kit is blowing hot air but the room never gets warm.
Any advice is welcome. Thanks

Can you show a picture of (the fuel in) your stove burning, and one of the right hand side of your stove while burning?

I have the same problem, but in my case it's not the wood, but the heat demands of the house just being greater than a woodstove can realistically deliver.

Do you know your peak heat demand, in this weather? How's it compare to the rated output of the stove, over the full course of a burn cycle?

Another way to come at this is to assume the heat output of your stove, averaged throughout the day, is 85% of what you put into it. If you know your wood is dry and < 20% MC, it's easy enough to weigh a day's wood, and get an accurate estimate of BTU input. If you know how much electricity or oil you were burning per HDD, you can calculate demand versus supply, and determine if you need more firepower.

This step to verify that your bypass is closed and that your thermostat setting is to max.

Those energy logs, the NIELS I assume, pack plenty of dense, dry, punch.

Then some details about your home. How big is it? Is the stove in an uninsulated basement? It's not that cold this year in the PNW, though the next week we'll be having a cold snap.
