New ashford 30.2 installed this summer many questions!

[Cburke]

Hello everyone. I hope this post is in the right place. I have been a member for a while just lurking though. I recently got rid of my non cat wood stove and upgraded to a bk asford 30.2. Haven’t been able to run it too much here in pa because it’s been rather warm. But I have had a handful of fires. Overall love the stove big learning curve switching to a cat stove. Few questions. I have been getting small amount of smoke smell about 6 hours or so into my burn at a fairly low setting. Don’t smell it on when first starting the fire. Is this normal due to it being in the 40s to high 30s at night and mid 50s day time, or do I have one of those strange ashfords that have smell issues. I was inspecting the door and I’ll post some pictures of the hinge area seems a little off to me as the pin looks smashed up a bit and some washers and bolts don’t really match up. I had the stove professionally installed it’s a straight run of double wall pipe probably about 16ft high. Any way. The smell seems to come from the upper left hand corner of the door. Here’s some hinge pictures and stove pipe set up. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, that top bolt looks like it moved, and the washer was in a different place earlier.
What stove did you have previously?

Thank you is there a way to move this post myself or should I just start a new one in the bk section?
