Boxes would help. Just long burn times too.

I've never heard of that one.

Yup, that's an easy one to miss. I've had guys go over the whole stove with no improvement, but miss the chunk of ash on top of the fan that was the whole problem.

Agree with RSI, also make sure there's no ash packed over the nozzle, or ash piled up behind the lower horseshoe brick under the tubes.
Follow the airflow from damper inlet disc to chimney through the whole unit and you'll find it.

I would agree, seeing them in person is important, all three have improved greatly over the last 5-10 years.

That video had several inaccuracies.
I've pulled at turb out the top exactly one time, and that was due to my ignorance, I could had freed it up in place. The guy had packed the whole back end of the stove with ash.
No matter what the brand, I'd cruise the forums, FB groups. Look at general feedback.

Air is a funny thing, I've learned to "power purge" by the school of hard knocks.

I was thinking the same thing, maybe some blockage reducing the flow so low it can't pick up air and push it out of the coils. I'd put a hose bib in the loop and purge both ways.

I agree with Marty, if there's creosote on the turbulators you've got a major burn issue. I tried burning some big wet blocks this summer, my turbs got tight. Switched to smaller dryer pieces, the issue disappeared in days. I'm loving my new G7000.
