OK, this is my second year with my FV and love the thing but it's been a little frustrating lately. Stove gets cranked up to operating temps, flip the cat lever, it snap crackles and pops as the metal expands and cooks along for awhile. After a while I notice my backyard is a little smokey. I check the stack and there's some smoke coming out. I disengage the cat, let a little more air through the stove, and then do it again. Most times it's fine after that.
I just happened to look at the mesh of the scoop and it appears to be mostly covered in fly ash. Of course I looked when the stove is hot and I can't reach in there and clean it! Is this my problem or is it that my cat is a year old and takes a little more to get her purring?
Thanks!
