The product, in the report: Wood stove
To give a full detail of the acceptance and use ofthe wood burning stove -AVELON, model: 1750 Spokane, I will attempt to explain what was entailed. The stove was installed by OrIey’s installing crew and about three days later an inspector from OrIey’s came and inspected the installation. At no time was there any instruction as to how we were to clean out the stove when the chimney was brushed clear of soot that builds up. About a year later a rep from the local county South Central Oregon Economic Development District and a EPA inspector came out and looked at the stove and asked if we were happy with the stove. I told them that I was not because it did not draw air very good when first lighting the wood off. The inspector said to talk to Orley’s about getting an extension on the flue above the roof. OrIey’s said that was normal air draw and to keep the door ajar to let air in. Once the wood got started it burned fine with the door shut. After I brushed the chimney this spring the stove would not draw air up the chimney and when paper was burned the smoke did not go up the chimney and instead came into the house. On checking inside the stove I could see that none ofthe soot had entered the stove and the chimney was plugged above the draft pipes and brick on the top of the stove. I went to OrIey’s and asked about the soot and how do you clean it out as there was not a door to enter to clean out the soot that came down the chimney after brushing. I was instructed on how to prepare the stove before brushing. The OrIey rep showed me how to remove the metal brackets and bricks from inside the top of the stove. This opened up the top inside so that soot could fall into the bottom ofthe stove. I would not have had a soot mess and no smoke in the house if I had known how to take the stove apart before brushing. Also, there are no instructions in the owners manual telling how to remove soot. What makes this dangerous is that elderly folks would not be able to remove the metal brackets and bricks before brushing and if they tried to burn wood they would have unhealthy smoke in the house. The stove needs to be re-designed so it has a cleaning device on the side to enter the brick area where the soot fills up the air space. This devise could be a metal scraper that is controlled by a shaft that passes through the side of the stove and when the shaft is pulled out and pushed back it would sweep the soot from the air space above the bricks. This would clear the air space and allow the draft to go up the chimney with out taking the stove apart. When the stove is working right it is efficient and does eliminate smoke particles from the atmosphere.
