This is a followup thread from my thread on all the back puff issues I have been having.
After burning the stove 24-7 since October and having major back-puffs out of this stove.
I was able to partially correct the issue.
I shut down the stove last Friday.
What I found out was the rear shoe brick's 9 little holes were completely plugged, there was also a crack in the shoe brick.
This was probably the main reason that caused the AB to fail giving me very poor burns.
I am going to have the stove people check out my stove in about 2 week where I will have them do a complete cleaning of the entire stove and the flue I will also have them replace any gasket that is not sealing as tight as it should be. I will also have them replace the shoe brick and examine the AB chamber to ensure that it is in good condition.
So if you start to experience back puffs and it is taking longer to get the stove up to temps and the AB keeps failing, it is time to shut her down and make sure the air holes are cleared of ash. Since the AB chamber sits at the back of the stove coals and ash like accumulating in the chamber.
