I don't think my stove is pulling nearly enough air into the firebox. Last night with my break-in fire, I could not get it to burn without leaving the ash pan door open until the kindling was burning vigorously. At that point, I could close the ash pan door and it would continue to burn.
My flu is 6" and it's 22' total height. The stove is rear vented into a tee and then two 45* elbows connected off the top of the tee to give me the offset I need. From there it' 20' straight up and out. Oh, and I have double-wall stove pipe.
One thing I'm concerned about is the interface between the flu collar and the adapter to the double-wall stove pipe (crimped to fit into the flue collar) isn't fastened together in any way. There through holes on the collar that could be used to hold single wall in place but the outer wall of the double-wall adapter is on the outside of the collar. Do I need to use some screws through that outer wall to hold the adapter snug against the collar? If I don't, it's a very loose and leaky fit.
Anything else I need to be looking at? I feel like with the primary air control wide open, I my flame should be much more active.
Thanks,
