Title: how many of you get flames out the stack?
Post by: walkerdogman85 on April 02, 2012, 05:05:20 AM

I have only had my h4 for three weeks and I have had it shoot flames out the stack when first lit that's the only time I notice flames other than that very little smoke other than when first loaded. Just wondering if its no big deal as I don't want to catch my wood pile on fire.

I get flames out of mine all the time.  Usually only when I have the wood stacked really high in the fire box.  Hasn't casued any problems yet.

Walker,

I would lengthen your chimney first and see how it goes. You may find that the flame either
stops or isn't enough to worry about.

I have the H5 and have used it for about 3 weeks.  I have not seen anything like the picture posted and I hope I never do...  I have only on 1 occasion seen a spark fly out the top.  So far I love the Hardy stove.  Can wait for -20 this winter and see how the Hardy responds.
