Wood stove

[cfarrell]

Hi
I have a wood burning morso s10 and whilst I can get the fire going after a while if I add a log it seems to kill the fire. On some occasions I have to open the door to prevent the fire burning out. Has anyone any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for all the advice, I was concerned it wasn't fitted correctly , but the installer was hetas and checked the chimney before putting on a cowl to keep thre birds out. Tbh I think the wood isn't dry enough and I need a moisture meter. The stove is 6 kw and the ceiling in our kitchen is very high, though apparently its the correct stove going by the formula used to calculate kilowattage. Great tip regarding the diameter of the logs and sitting them uptight, as soon as I put on big logs it seems to drown the stove and I needs too open the door. The best heat I seem to get is from those condensed sawdust briquettes though they burn out very quickly. Nice feature, but I didn't realise that getting a perfect fire is a bit of an acquired art form. There def is something primeval in it and my wife thanks I developed OCD with the darn thing....
