Hello fellow Hearth.com members,
I am looking for a little advice
I have a Jotul Kennebec insert. I had it cruising last night at around 500-600. All the wood I have has been c/s/s for over a year. I closed the air down halfway and eventually all the way. The secondaries were amazing but I noticed something new that I have not seen in the 3 years I have owned this stove. Every time the secondary burn rolled arond, every 5-10 seconds or so I noticed a back puff of smoke coming back into the room. I'm not sure where it came from and I haven't seen anything like it before. I was sitting to the side of the stove so maybe that's why I noticed. If I was sitting directly in front of it I probably would have never noticed it. There was also a smell of smoke in the room when there usually isn't when i have the stove going.
is this normal? Should I be concerned? Thanks for your help
