How tall is your chimney? When you light the stove, when do you start turning down the air?

25ft flex liner in masonry chimney , I turn it down once it gets going good and temp gets to around 300

Once it gets there u can shut it down all the way and it just keeps blazing

There are other threads about the same issue. Not sure if its the US Stove or one of the sister companies(same stove, different name). There are unregulated air holes causing the stove to run away. Best/easiest/cheapest fix would be a flue damper.

How can I reduce the air intake on this thing I have checked for leaks around the door - ash pan, even plugged the holes on the bottom both sides off the ash pan area. This stoves just breaths way to much! Can not get any control able fire unless it is one split piece at a time.

You can try turning the stove down earlier too. Watching the fire will tell you how it’s burning and if it’s ready to start turning down. Sometimes the thermometer lags a bit.
