JotulF3 CB woodburner issue

[MATTMOSS]

Just to explain, if you take a look at my pic in opening post. The part in the pic is upside down. The plate with the air holes faces the fire/heat. The top plate is made of cast and is a good thickness. What my gripe is why is the lower plate (taking all the heat) so THIN. In order to clean any ash from the top of this , I would have to remove stove , top and then unbolt the two halves. Totally impractical:confused1: I dont see ash sitting on top of this as it is enclosed ie air wash box. Hope this makes sense:confused1:

 

Ash could be carried up with the heat or fall back down the chimney onto it ? Could you stick the Hoover nozzle in to clean it? Obviously when cold

From what you say it seems a bad design. I am no fire expert but I can only speak from my experience and lots of others I know who have had similar problems.

The rated output of the stove is 6KW. For the record I have never burnt a lump of coal smokeless or not. The only fuel it has had is well seasoned hardwoods e.g oak,elm,sycamore,beech etc..(as recommended in user manual). :thumbup:

I thought the idea of a logburner , was to give heat output but didn't realise that they must not get too HOT:sneaky2:. All seals are in good order (leak tested with paper). Chimmney sweep commented that the chimney was very clean for a woodstove. Are Morso better quality, paid extra thinking jotul were the best !

 

Morso are technically 5 years plus ahead of anyone in the world. Jotul and Morso are at similar prices levels but I would put Morso ahead. Thats not to say Jotul are bad, far from it, but its the little things that make a difference. I have been trying to get a curved glass for a Jotul Scan for 3 months, they cant ID it and say there are three types, you would never get that issue with Morso, designs are never changed so a stove built 50 years ago will have the same exact parts on it as the same stove built today.

 

In short yes you can overheat a stove. Its not that common as a lot of folk burn wood which is wetter than ideal but it does happen. I have a lot of joinery offcuts in Oak, these can easily overheat the stove getting 600F on the outside on one occasion when I forgot about it.
