Hi Everyone,
I have an old Alaskan Kodiak stove. It heats my house marvelously, but it sometimes puffs smoke out the two draft controls when I fire it up in the morning after it is banked off during the night. I have a good 8x12 interior flu that exists the roof at the ridge. The flu has plenty of draft and once the stove gets going, it burns great. But I can't keep the smoke detector hooked up because it periodically puffs smoke when I try to get a fire going from scratch or when I load it up after it is banked off over night. I'm almost considering getting a modern stove with secondary combustion if it would solve the smoking problem. WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
Thanks,
Bob
