I have been running my stove for about 4 months and I am starting to realize that there are certain conditions where it won't burn well because of draft conditions I think.
If it's fairly cold out I have no problems. The colder the better. Glass stays nice and clean, stove burns well.
Now when it warms up, doesn't work so well. Like today we got about 6" of snow so the air is fairly humid. I don't have much trouble getting heat out of the stove, but it seems like there isn't quite enough draft for it to burn well. The glass soots up and if I'm not careful I get smoke in the house (like if the clothes dryer is used)
Would something as simple as extended the chimney a foot or two help with this? My chimney is about 15ft now, 6ft or so sticks out past the roof, so I don't end up with a factory smoke stack if I don't need to.
