Hello,
I am new to wood stoves but have been a regular at this site for about 4 months. In October I purchased a PE Summit insert and installed with a full stainless liner. I am a weekend/evening burner and have lit the stove off a few times this year. Now to the question. the stove has been running fine until yesterday. It now starts puffing some smoke into the room when I open the door and there seems like no combustion air is reaching the back of the stove. This leaves plenty of cold coals in the rear of the stove. Hopefully there is a quick fix because it is a pain to shuffle coals around when it was working fine just a few days ago. Any help would be appreciated, and I plan to call the PE techline Monday. Thanks in advance.
