Ok I believe I'll try to raise it. I think we are sick from colds but Ivan not a doctor, I just thought I would see if anyone else was having trouble

Is your house pretty tight as far as fresh air goes? I would drill a 4 inch hole in your bond plate to install a 4 inch flex duct for fresh outdoor air to the inside of your basement.

you can buy an air changer (air to air exchanger)to put in your home that will bring fresh air in from outside but will transfer the outgoing heat into the incoming air (at least part of it) to help save your heat

Oh I know, it's just hard to convince folks to buy double wall stainless sometime..  Not cheap lol but does last

If there was a stove out there that could get away with single wall it would be hardy, they have high exhaust temps and often have flames coming out the top

Twice this season I have loaded my Cb5036 with a bit too much small dry wood and had a torch out the stack. I guess I will not bother checking for creosote build up for a while.
