With the door open and the fan running do you feel air coming out of the discharge area of the door going into the stove?

Once again problem solved.

During the time that my damper was not opening, creosote built up in the chamber leading to the stack to such an extent that it was blocking the air flow. It was a wet gooey mess and was not much fun to clean out, but when finished the unit heated quickly, is doing just fine once again. Hopefully we are all set for the winter now.

As i said in my very first post dave "it takes a year or two to figure these brutes out"
glad you got your problem solved with a lilttle digging into how your brute works. you will likley find now that these things are just like your car..as you use it you will "get the feel for it"  learn to reconize a "noise that wasn't there yesterday" or what  the furnace is doing by the smoke it makes (or doesn't) and things like that
 
Happy "burnin and learnin" and enjoy your new toy

I have resolved my issue. During the days when my damper was not opening, the upper chamber leading to the stack had plugged with wet creosote. It was a nasty job to manually clean that out, but now my until works great and I am very happy with it.
