Over the last week I had noticed that my inserts heat out put had been dropping to where I had to have it cranking to get the 12 X 22 room over 70 degrees. I even loaded it up with good dry mulberry and ran her wide open still could not get over 70. I noticed last night that the door latch was loose causing a gap between the door and the stove. I tightened up and in 2 hours the room was 75 before I throttled the stove back.
My question is why? It seems with the gap more air would have gotten in and made the fire hotter?
