Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am very new to the world of wood burning stoves...
Anyway, we had a wood burning stove installed recently and were told to have a 1 log fire, then a 2 log fire, then a 3 log fire then use it normally after that. We have had the 1 log fire and it all seemed fine however I have noticed that already there is soot round where the flue goes up the chimney and a little on the wall behind the stove (there are pictures of this on my profile) Is this normal? I was kind of expecting it to be not totally clean and was certainly expecting to clean the glass on the stove regularly but I'm surprised that there's soot after such a small fire. Please advise me!
