Greetings woodburners!!
I installed a used Quadrafire 4300 the other day, and have only fired it three times. It's running a little fast when banked down all the way. Not a lot fast, only a little. This is in a 1400 sq ft manufactured home. Door gasket is tight, as is the flue. Now granted, it has't been that cold yet, and too, this stove is new to me. But it's putting out a little too much heat on slow, and I can tell by it's behavior that in January, we are gonna wake up cold.
I do see an issue, a crack. But if I'm reading this stoves functions right, it's not the problem. Wish I could post a pic, but can't. So looking into the stove, on rear, up near the ceiling of the stove, is raised rectangle, going crossways, with holes all the way across. This has a crack verticaly, just right of center. My thinking is that since this crack is in the area with all the little holes, and down stream from the actual air control, that it shouldn't matter. But I don't know.
I gotta slow this thing down before winter. It's close, but no cigar.
Thanks a million for any help offered
