Hi, guys... We are new to this forum. Not entirely new to wood stoves, but this is the first one we've bought ourselves (other one was in a rental).
Bought a used Dutchwest 2460, busted our backs getting it in here. Stove is older/more used than advertised, and now it appears that the damper is stuck on SLIGHtlY open. Stove backpuffs terribly, fills house with smoke.
Found a diagram, so I guess we're going to try taking the top off to see if we can loosen the damper with oil.... Any thoughts/advice? Will we damage seals, etc., by opening it up?
Thanks for helping out some novices!
