oldspark said:"The chimney height might not be perfect but its within operating height" It's 13 feet with two 90's and an oversize flue, IMHO that does not fall into specs, even if his wood is prime I dont think he will ever be happy with how the stove works. Even if he puts 45's in there and a liner it will be barely good enough, but you never know until you try it.
No its not ideal but the stove will work ...
Look at his setup, it does appear to have some rise .. not perfect of course but he should be able to get something ...
My stove works fine with 13 ft would it be better with 20 absolutely..
But look at his question... Why does it stop roaring when I close the door.... It seems to me that he is an inexperienced burner.... The only stove I had that would "roar" and not really was a down draft harman with the afterburner chamber..lol
His setup is not ideal but he does have a liner somewhere he stated .. which we all agree he should definitely use.. I think that he in inexperienced with the stove he is using ....as well as not having the perfect setup... Just a guess could be wrong
