I don't like to knock someone else's work, but your manual will say not to exceed 25 EVL in your manual. And who's idea was this chimney? I'm also curious who inspected this and passed it? There's two hours at the most to install this and that's heavy, but that isn't what's most bothersome. I've been told Canada is stricter on inspections than the US. That would fail here. Just look at your manual.

The person who installed it inspects The city doesn’t require an actual inspection anymore but we had to get a WETT inspection for insurance and those eyes guys are certified to give it

They must not have looked at the manual because the Authority with Jurisdiction is the Manufacturer. And I can tell you with 100 percent certainty Enviro will tell you this is not allowed. Not only is the EVL which means equivalent vent length well over 25, that hook up would mandate a 4 inch pellet pipe going into a 4inch approved liner. It's not possible to get the needed draft on an everyday basis. On a windy day the wind will come down that seven inch double wall pipe. And at 25 feet in length a combustion fan with positive draft does not have the power to draft that distance to expell the exhaust gasses properly. Are these folks NFI certified? I'm not saying this can't be fixed but it needs a 4 in pipe going into a four inch liner to be proper.

i wasn't gonna go there. lol
 
3PVP stands for 3 inch pellet vent pro. I would think a fair thing to do would be for them to come back and put in 4 inch pipe and a ten foot piece of 4 inch liner. That would solve the issue. And pay for the aggravation. This is why people should be NFI certified like the manual requests.

Thanks. We are going to try a different setting tonight I am going to increase the combustion trimmed feed. We have not done that yet it is still on the factory setting will try one more thing before we end up showing up at the store to discuss this with them.

I really do thank all of you for your feedback at least this gives me something that I can talk with them about so I sound a little bit like I know what I’m actually talking about

open the damper a bit more also. If you keep the stove i would do the damper rod mod so you can change the damper on the fly.

Jeff and Bob been teaching me too
 
once you get the stove working correctly we can go into modifying the stove lol
 
Regardless of whether it works tonight or not the chimney needs to be installed properly. When them Canadian nights get cold and the air pressure is forcing down you're not going to want that stove not venting properly. If the Dealer doesn't agree I'll give you the name and email of the person at Enviro to talk to. People go on these sites to read about how a stove is working and this thread doesn't shed a good light on this stove when it's really the chimneys fault. Go buy a new car with dual exhaust and stick a potato in one exhaust and see how it runs lol.

I see nothing wrong with the instillation other than the vent design
could have been better for inside the building . If the pipe had been turned
gone through the wall then turned up and run to a termination point above roof line
every one would have said what a nice installation . If the 3 inch or 4 inch pipe is
installed to a class A insulated stove pipe then it meets Canadian code .
Envrio shows not max. for elevation only suggests 5 feet elevation on throw
the wall applications . I will not address the stoves operation other than to say
If burn pot is not locked into slots you get a very poor dirty fire that will overflow
the pot in just hours (combustion air not being sent into the pot ) Also this stove is in BC
what is the elevation of installation. The higher up the more air it needs so open the
slider a little more . Oak insulation is good as long as the crawl space is permanently
vented to outside air . You have a work horses of a stove that will give you more heat
than you will need just keep it clean
That is my 2 cents worth
