Installed on Friday and it looks great. Pictures are coming. A few questions on this stove though:
1. Damper seems to only open about 75% of the way. Closes all the way but only opens 3/4's. Should I call back the installers or just giggle it to death?
2. Stove was painted mojave red. First 2 burns it stunk and the living room got smokey. First fire 250-300 degrees....2nd fire 350-400 degrees. I take it the paint is curing. Only serious concern is smoke was coming out of the blower area. Blower was not on. Smoke also was emitting from the cook top area. How many more fires before this is cured? Plan on having another fire tomorrow afternoon and want to get it up to 500-600 degrees. Good idea?....Thoughts would be appreciated.
Oh ya... used pallet woood and some ash for those first 2 fires.
