Wait, what?
You only get 1 inch of travel on the push/pull air control rod under the ash lip? Mine (30) has 4.75" of travel
Edit: he has a 17vl, which does have 1" of travel.

This one is a 17-VL, not a 30. Never seen one, no idea what they are like, other than very small.
draft control travel on the 17-vl is quite short "an inch" is relatively accurate , other of our units have a longer travel than that.
im with the gang here in most of the suggestions.
simply put a modern reburn stove by definition is "resistant" to draft which is part of why they can be finicky with certain flue applications. when the door is cracked there is no resistance so the fire will rip along even if there is a flue issue , but whne the door is closed the issue shows up.
shorter flues, tight houses, installation in a single story section of a 2 story house can be a nighhtmare if not done properly as well.

The draft air control rod has broken inside the wood stove and become dislodged barely allowing it to function properly which is now forcing you to open the door to get a hot fire. I have the NC30 and have the exact problem. One day I actually felt the rod go off its linkage or its weld while in my hand I cant tell because there are no schematics of it from the manufacturer online. Since that very moment I have been cracking the door open to get a real fire with seasoned wood. Sometimes I press it to the left or the right and kinda pull on it slow hoping to catch so it opens,.... I am a DIY guy so I would fix it myself it is a bummer that I dont know how to get to it or if its welded shut so you cant get to it. I love this stove but its a major design flaw
