Our Washington Pet 8-19 was my wife's grandmother's she grew up on. I had it sandblasted, painted, and reassembled. I think I missed a step on assembly. The smoke only partially exits the stove pipe. I installed it in our greenhouse and it will run you out from smoke leaking around the stove. Can someone help with locating instructions with assembly? My wife would be the happiest.
I am new to forums so if I am in the wrong forum for what I am looking for please give me direction on where to best post this question. Thanks, Mitch Prasatik 936-546-4622

Here are some pics of our Washington Pet 8-19 woodstove. I should have sent these with my original help request.

Yikes, you've loaded the wood in the oven. That is not the firebox. Get the fire out of there.
The firebox is the smaller chamber to the left of the oven.
 
With the wood loaded in the firebox, the stove should behave a lot better. I don't know this stove but I would look for a bypass control which most cookstoves have. The bypass should be open when starting the stove with the fire in the firebox.
