I've had my Quadra Fire Santa Fe for a year now and have been happy with it, but recently it's startd making a loud.....snoring ??.......roaring ??....sound on startup. After the flame has burned for 5 minutes or so, and before the blower comes on it will quit. Flame is a little high at 1st, then comes down to spec, but the roaring continues. I've thoroughly cleaned it, vacuumed out behind the brick, cleaned the air holes in the firepot, scraped the bottom of the firepot.....I'm at a loss. If any of you have ever heard an old bull-roarer that you swing around your head on a string, that's about what it sounds like.
It lit a few minutes ago and now I'm noticing that the noise is still there but fluttering, sort of, and not nearly as loud, tho' it was very loud after flame ignition. Blower is running. NWTH ??
Thanks.
