Nice to see a home inspector pick up on the chimney issue, that is one beautifully picturesque chalet! The chimney should be addressed since its most likely the cause of you fighting the burn (you also probably notice upon starting smoke in the room to some degree)... for coal it would be even worst drafting! bracket/brace and a few more sections is great advice!xaos wrote:Here is a copy of my manual from my old Russo C/W 1 stove.
his is a CW2 (coal/wood #2) which is larger but this manual will suffice well, its better for coal than wood.
