Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to look at my questions. I have the Englander 30 NCH and a set up as follows:
Masonry Chimney
7 inch by 12 inch flue inside the chimney
6 inch orange clay thimble through foundation wall and into the basement
from there a 6 inch 90 degree elbow to a 45 inch stove pipe and into the stove which has a 6 inch collar
for some reason i can not close the door without the flames getting low and eventually leading to a weak fire with a weak secondy burn if any at times.
I have the stove damper wide open and the stove pipe damper wide open
There doesnt seem to be enough air getting through the firebox to keep the flame running good
I have dry season wood as well
i can get the fire going quick and easy but when i close the door it doesnt want to keep roaring nevermind play with the air control to control the burn times
i am thinking that maybe my flue is too big and is not creating enough upward draft current to pull air through the stove box leaving my firebox with a weak draft. should i get a flex pipe 6 inch and shove it down my chimney and hook it up??? do you guys think this will solve all my problems???
I have been tinkering and wasting good wood for a week or two at this point... im ready to get this pipe but i need it to work at optimum performance . i dont want to waste any more money.
thank you in advance for your ideas and help
