I have the Mansfield and I have no shiny on the back of the stove what so ever. Are you burning hot and full? How long
is the chimney height? Do you run with a damper? Do you cover the top of your wood when seasoning for 2 full years?
Do you get consistant secondary burns? You also mentioned a full rebuild block by block. Was everything done to spec by a knowledgeable stove expert? Let us know all the answers and we will look for a problem for you.


My chimney is less than ideal. Planning on changing that this summer.

Was everything done to spec by a knowledgeable stove expert? I'm a mechanical engineer. I'm an expert on everything.
