First off hello to everyone on here as this is my first post. I bought a new hotblast 1357m addon wood furnace back in October. I can't figure this unit out for anything I know I have it all hooked up right two 8inch heat runs tapped into my main trunk line and 6inch chimney pipe going into clay tile lined block chimney which is very tall,also I have a solid damper installed in the exhaust pipe. But my problem I am having is I cannot figure out how to get this thing to burn long most burn time I have got out of it was 3hours. I know I should be able a way longer burn time then that. It sure is gettn old waking up in the morning to a 56 degree house. I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I've heard of people getting over 8hours burn time. Maybe I am not loading it enough in fear of something happening or maybe all my dampers are just not set right I have no clue. I would really appreciate any help or advise on this. At this point I'm thinking this thing was a waste of money as I could get a two hour burn time on my old cast iron no fire brick stove. Could someone please help me figure this thing out. Thanks
