[QUOTE="Highbeam, post: 2599584, member: 21426"] Measuring the outside temps of a double wall pipe won't tell you dik about what your actual flue temps are. Buy and install a probe meter from condar as well as a surface meter for the stove. Your chimney is very short and the least desirable type, an outside masonry chimney. Draft will suffer as a result. Running the stove with draft wide open is not the way to heat the stove. It's a way to heat the flue with wasted heat rushing out the chimney. This is a difference with EPA stoves. Your wood may be wet but is too large. You need to split it down to 4-5" across for the regular burns. EPA stoves are different in this way too. Leftover wood in any stove is a sure sign of wet/green wood. To see if you need outside air, open a window in the home as a test. Same effect of providing as much air as the draft can suck. The stove you chose is an excellent stove. Long burns and dependable construction. It's not the stove, it's the operator, the chimney, and the wood. [/QUOTE]
