Hot Air Coal Stoker Stove: Liberty

Post by Chrisbob998 » Sun. Jan. 17, 2021 10:50 am

Looking for some help in dialing in an SWG power vent with my Alaskan Liberty Stove. Taking readings with a full grate and stabilized fire. I get everything all set with the rheostat and running around .03-.04 draft on manometer, damper slightly open. The issue I have is that occasionally, and more so when the stove has just fed coal again the draft shoots up, power vent speed increases, and of course my draft goes way up causing damper to open almost fully. Is this a normal condition with a power vent?
