Flue Gas

Flue gas analysis

• There was heavy sooting at startup, because of lack of draft and ignition of all the white birch bark.
• The flue temperature anomaly at 15 minutes is from the sooting up of the sensor and shorting out to the casing.
• Gas probe was pulled and sensor cleaned at 20 minutes.
• Note the super high CO for the first 30 minutes.
