On our 20000, I played with the draft percentage last year,dealer told me it was too low,causing creosote issues,so he recommended setting it between 45-50% Our model also has what I would call afterburners,an add on where air is also injected above the fire downwards towards the grates via two square tubes to burn off the gasses. I am assuming you could probably go by stack temperatures whether you are pushing too much up the stack,or how high you can go for an even hotter fire?

Quite a different animal, but I've moved mine around between 25% and 75% a few times with no noticeable difference on wood. Coal burns better toward the top, but I think it's still at 75% now on straight wood

C models need to run wide open. If you have a problem with creosote in a c375, we may have an answer.

I have no creosote problems at all unless I toss it full so it burns for 3 days or it's very warm out and idles a lot. Batch firing makes my firebox look shiny clean inside, with the draft anywhere as long as it's cold out

I have a 10k and have always run at 100%. I've never had a creosote problem. My dealer and several other guys on here say the 10k and 20k need to run 100%.

My C375 is dry as powder as well. Just a few early model C375's had a little problem, and we may have got all of them, but we figured it out pretty quick and Heatmaster fixed it. But just thought I'd mention it in case someone had one.
