Hi guys, hope someone here can give me some guidance!
Yesterday the stove was on for about 6 hours before this terrifying situation.
My husband looked up and noticed that the stove was filling with smoke. He quickly jumped up and shut the stove off. Then, as the smoke was swirling, a noise sounding like a "whoosh" was heard and a large flame was in the stove (The stove is powered off at this point). I ran into the kitchen to grab the fire extinguisher, heart pounding, ready to call the fire department. We watched the stove for the next 30 minutes, and the fire died out and the stove went through it's normal shut down procedure.
After this situation, I am really hesitant to use the stove again, as it really scared the crap out of me.
Has anyone else had this happen to them, or heard of this happening? My husband is going to talk to the dealer today, but I wanted to hear what other people have to say as well.
We have the Hudson River Stone Works Saranac Insert model
