I bought my parlor 3000 3 years ago new. the stove is well built I agree. I have no OAK, but I do keep my draft 7/8 of the way cut off by the flapper at draft on bottom of stove. My problem is my glass will black up with ashes after about 1 hour of use. If i open my draft 1/2 or more it will ash up the glass in 15 mins.I'm burning high quality pellets, either somersets or green ways or white lightening country boys. Any help on my glass will be appreciated. All ashes go towards the glass or to the right hand side of the burn pot.
P.S. My chimney is only 4 foot long, no turn up just a streight out run.
Any Thelin owners have this problem? A $ 3500. stove should not do this in my opinion, I have a friend with a $2000. Englander 10cpm his glass stays clean all the time due to having a air wash. Thelin has no air wash for the glass. I do not recommend this stove because of this problem, I do recommend it however on the way it looks and HEATS. A PLUS+ PLUS +PLUS it will run on a deep cycle battery just fine no difference when my power goes out NOTHING EXTRA TO BUY BUT A BATTERY, IT COMES WITH BATTERY CABLES THAT plugs INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE STOVE.
Fix the glass issue it would be the best stove out there.
