For some reason, this is our most popular webinar, with over 250 folks signed up so far. I am especially interested in why pellet stoves leak smoke into homes, and would love to see if we can understand which brands are most likely to leak. I have a top-end Harman P43 that in general works great and has needed no repairs since I got it 5 years ago. But it almost always put a very noticeable amount of smoke in the room right as it lights off. I suspect if the igniter were stronger, and it could get a flame started in the fireboat earlier, I would get less smoke - both outdoors and in my living room. Does others have this problem and is there a high powered igniter that would help?

Correction: I have a Harman Acccentra, not a P43. And apparently I have a bit of forgetfulness.
 
If you are emphasizing pellet stoves, then maybe that forum (rather than the wood stoves forum you posted to) would get you more eyes?
