Encore 2040 cat C burns too fast

[Turbo89]

One last update: I replace the door gaskets, and griddle gasket. Between that and plugging the two secondary holes it’s like a whole new stove.

So moral of the story, replace all your gaskets before you dive into troubleshooting… $30 in material, for a huge difference.

I had so many problems with my 2022 Encore cat c. It would over fire all the time. I was constantly messing with it throughout the burn. I had all the gaskets replaced twice, 6 or 7 service calls. Tried all the tricks, blocking off the two EPA holes with magnets, blocking off the secondary, plugging two out of the eight holes inside the stove. I finally found a permanent fix. I junked the stove and bought a Blaze King Princess! I now get 12 to 20 hr burn times depending on temp. Load, set thermostat and don’t touch it again until it’s time to reload. Its amazing. Got my life back.
