hi All,
After nearly an entire year I finally have a Excel 2000 hooked up and burning wood as we speak... yay![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
However I have a couple (probably related) problems...
I have a fairly good fire going in the fire box but currently the bypass damper is open and none of the fire is really in the combustion chamber. If I close the bypass damper the fire almost immediately starts to die plus I get smoke coming out of the handle for the firebox door.
Any thoughts?
At the moment burning wood is my only source of DHW and so I've got to get this working so the wife doesn't kill me![Smile :) :)](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/grin.gif)
thanks in advance
