ok so I'm having an issue. I've got the fire ROARING right now. But the door is open a tiny little bit (like 1/4'' crack).
As soon as I pull tight on the handle to really clamp the door shut, the fire dies WAAAAAYYYY down and stops roaring. It will still burn... but it is definitely not roaring anymore.
I don't think its a draft issue, because I can see the flames rolling over and over and getting sucked way up the front of the stove. The secondary ignition pipes are lighting the gasses like crazy!
What would cause my fire to die down like this??? Is it being starved for air somehow? Would not 100% super dry wood cause this? (aged 2 years, but just kept out back in the open)
The stove is just NOT getting as hot as I would like it to be...
I only have the intake air adjustment on my stove, I don't have a flue damper.... would this help get my temps UP ??
