  1. are you sure you aren’t using green wood? That may explain the smoke/hard to stay lit? See if you can get your hands on wood you know has been dried and see if you have the same problem.

  2. could you call the installer and ask their advice? If they were kind enough to throw it in after the fact… may be able to offer some advice (especially if you make it clear you aren’t asking them to come back and fix it)

I thought that at first but used some known dry wood with similar results. I can try to call him but unfortunately he’s hard to get a hold of and I probably won’t hear back from him until August..
