Wondering if anyone else has it where their stove cruises for a couple hours and then randomly the wood starts to off gas and heat spikes while secondaries burn strong for a while before it settles down again? I have a PE Summit and my stove will sit around 500-600f flue probe temp for 3+hrs then the fire will jump up 750-900f when wood starts off gassing even with the air vent fully shut. Thinking it’s more of a wood thing than a stove thing?
I just recently added a PE blower and blocked the boost air hole to see if that helps at all. Added a key damper last year and had a draft test done but fell well below manufacturer spec and have noticed very little difference with key damper. Going into second season with this stove and still very frustrating I can’t get it to burn properly like so many other manufacturers out there.
