Hey guys, I have a problem. I have a 5 year old Regency wood insert. When I bought it, it was the "mid sized" stove. I have a 1400 sq ft cape that the stove has had no problem keeping at 80+/- degrees all winter. This year, the stove is struggling to maintain 68 degrees. I have a mix of Ash, Choke Cherry, and Maple wood and most of it has been cut down for 2 years but not split until this fall. Some of the ash was cut and split recently but I thought that I had it mixed in pretty good with the older stuff. I've been closing off rooms to try and build up heat but it is not making a difference. Tonight I ran to my buddies shop to get some dried oak skids (used to transport raw steel coils. Have some oils penetrated into the wood) but I cannot cut them until morning. I used these last year and they worked awsome. Some of the firebrick along the back wall is cracked, but have been for a few years. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
