Hey Everyone,
I recently installed an osburn 1700 in my house and I cannot get a decent draft going with the door closed. If I was to close off the air at all, it would put the fire out. The wood is dry and fire is roaring before I close the door. Even with the door just cracked a bit, it burns amazing. Im leaning towards too short of a chimney, currently approx. 11 feet. To note, I have also tried opening a window in the house but it does not change results.
What are your thoughts? I attached a photo of the install and roof.
Thanks
