Im trying my best to follow all the guidance from hearth.com yet am having a difficult time getting my stove to work properly.
My Jotl F55 is currently running @ 650 degree F on top of the stove.
Fire is burning nice and hot with nice flames.
But outside... smoke!?
i thought youre not supposed to see smoke because thats an indication of a poor burn/creosote??
The wood is at ~20% moisture filled tight. there may be one piece in there at 30%.
is this normal?
