New Hearthstone Heritage, new moisture meter, wood at 20 percent moisture, blazing fire, 5' double wall stovepipe to 18 ' flue (8x12 I think). Flue cleaned immediately before stove installed. I have not had this problem before during the week and a half I have had the stove. Lit a fire an hour and a half ago. Cat temp 3/4 of "catalyst active" range. If I close the bypass, the fire slowly dies. Do I have to vacuum out the air intake each time I light a fire? It burns fine with the door closed, the air intake fully open (or even closed), the door closed and the bypass open. My salesperson says it takes about a month for the Heritage to begin to behave.
I took a long time composing this thread. Sooo: Now that I have a full coal bed everything is working fine, catalyst engaged
Os this catalyst stoves? Soapstone stoves? Or do I just need to give it more time to start liking me? My dog likes it!
