end of the adventure

[stovexxx]

just as the title says, an adventure ends, I've tried everything, it seems impossible, despite the draft of the stove, and the air exchange, to have an impeccable air quality, I should accept 6-10 ppm carbon monoxide (without cooking) I think that the heat, the fire, expands, and somehow, comes out in small doses from the joints of jotul, maybe a steel stove is better because it has fewer joints, anyway. Maybe I'll sell this piece of cast iron or put a fire effect lamp inside, with some pieces of wood! Thanks for all the support provided.

A welded steel body stove can have only one seal to maintain, the door gasket. Our CO meter doesn't budge when the stove is burning.

I was uninstalling the chimney and...
the penultimate pipe (each is 1 meter) was literally disconnected, compared to the last pipe, the one that comes out of the roof (the pipes of my chimney travel inside a chimney, inside the masonry of the house) so the pipe were misaligned,compared to the last meter
so I had an air draft, a leak and I had smoke that did not come out completely, directly;
however I did not smell smoke but I noticed something strange (carbon monoxide)
I'm starting to trust wood stove again👍

Nice (well, not so nice but good find)!
I hope this solves the problem.

It's good that the investigation continues. If some of the fumes were back-siphoning inside the outer pipe, that might explain the high CO readings. Let us know if they CO drops a lot, like to 0.

Finally! Yes, CO is no longer detectable ( 0 ) and co2 remains stable, 400-420 previously it was around 550. Now I start enjoying "slow" burn again!

YAY!
Kudos for using a CO detector and sleuthing out the issue.

Excellent news! Well-done indeed!
