First season of burning .. love it so far.
When we installed my US Stove Magnolia 2015, I ended up with 9 feet of pipe total .. it is double wall stainless smoke pipe inside and insulated stainless chimney from Selkirk Metalbestos.
When I read the owners manual again and noticed that it recommended a minumum of 12 feet, I immediately added one more section making a total of 12 feet (4 feet of it above the crown of the roof).
The draft was improved a good deal, but I still get a good little puff of smoke when I open the door even with the window in the same room cracked .. and the fire is not as vigorous as I would think it should be when the draft is all the way open.
Also .. when I load the stove with reasonably dry hardwood .. wide open draft on the stove, the highest that I have measured the stovetop is the mid 500s.
I suspect that going one more section of pipe (15 feet total) would be a good move to make .. but I don't want to get too much draft.
Did I give enough information ?
Should I try an additional section of pipe ?
