Hello new guy here first season burning, built everything myself except the stove and pipe, anyone else using a us stove forester or similar model? This is my first home so didn’t have the money for the lopi I wanted settled for the tsc special and it has turned out so far to be a great efficient stove but seems it can run cool sometimes. I have a bit of build up in my chimney, I’ve been burning 24/7 since December mostly ash and red oak, stove door is a pos but I’m sure the kid that built it in China thought it was good any tips or advice on this stove? Any complaints? Also having a outside chimney doesn’t seem too bad.
