Flue temp, smoke and creosote

I check on the liner just off the back of the insert . An inch or two after the appliance connector

With a fire like this my tempsnare good but I still get a little smoke. I'm unsure how to fix it

I wouldn't get to worked up over a small amount of smoke. Your active flame looks under control nicely. If your heat requirement is met you look to be burning at a rather efficient rate in my opinion.

I don’t know if I am seeing right in the pic but it looks to me like you could give it more air. What is the temp of the stove? It needs to be hot enough to burn all the gasses. If it’s not hot enough it won’t happen. The secondaries won’t sustain and you will have smoke coming out of your stack.

How about a picture of the smoke coming out? Maybe people here would say it is trivial.....

Mine is a little insert . It was given to me so I used it but I wish I would have gone with a newer unit. It only has one secondary tube but the door. I don't think it does much. I can play with and get it to run on secondary with a little flame from the wood but the fire goes out about 5 minutes later.

Use ur COVID tax advance to buy a new one!

It's not a tax advance, you don't have to pay it back, it's free money with no strings attached.

Haha. Oh my. Nothing is free. Especially from the government
