Nice setup. Looks good. Any idea how good the draft is?

I have that exact stove in my kitchen area. It's too small to handle 1600 sqft in really cold weather. Hard to move heat in a ranch style house.

That could be the problem. What exactly is wide open? Nothing should be wide open except possibly reload time.

We have 3 of those stoves in our family, one family has one in there house, and the other family has one in there house and one in there garage, great stove and very tough being full cast iron, none of them have baros, as these have by metallic controls that will for the most part module the heat output, most are set between 3-5 on the heat controller on the back right of the stove. Make sure the hopper is full.

I will say the grate isn’t the best at removing ash, they seem to do better flossing the grate and poking from underneath, only rotating the actual grate very little, poke down through the hopper every now and then also they tend to bridge inside.
