In Reply to: The chimney is clean. posted by BarnyardEngineering on November 15, 2021 at 09:01:30:
I read the replies. Now I'm not an expert but here is my take. chimney is on the south side. as the sun comes up, the chimney heats up causing more draft. Not sure what type of chimney it is but it Must be insulated all the way to the top. If it has an insert in it my guess is that cold air is getting in-between the insert and original chimney. This makes it get cold and you loose your draft.
Now you say if you open the ash drawer the fire will take off and burn till it's gone? That tells me that the problem is with the air intake. But you mentioned 2 things you did not just open the ash tray. something about not running it through the catalyst but just strait up into chimney. I would open ash tray and if it works then there is something wrong with your auto damper. I think it may be hooked up in reverse, Sun comes up and shines on it heating it up and now it is open. sun goes down and cools off and closes it. Not sure what type of stove or damper control you have but if it works with ash drawer open then it is your damper closing when cold instead of when hot.
Chimney in the attic must also be insulated well or when the sun goes down there is to much cold in the attic and cools the chimney and same problem. If you are opening the catalyst and it burns it is because it takes more draft to draw through the catalyst than strait up a chimney.
I would start with the air intake location and find out for sure it is open into the stove when evening comes. because you say it burns when ash tray open tells me it is only the intake and not your house being sealed or a cold chimney. good luck and let us know what you find.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
