Gas wood stove venting

[David P. OKeefe]

Is the black soot caused by poor combustion of the gas wood stove? I have not seen this much soot from these stoves before.

From here it looks the siding has melted.

[David P. OKeefe]

It's wood siding.

[David P. OKeefe]

Should the exhaust come out further away from the siding?

Then is it burnt paint?

It's hard to tell from here, bur apparently something is wrong. At minimum a better shield for protection. Advise a Certified Chimney Professional for inspection of the chimney, flue, and components.

Not burnt, just stained.
Ya, Ill do that. Was hoping to get some info here though.

[Michael Roberson]

Something is definitely wrong.

As far as I know side venting of wood burning is not allowed and neither is 90 degree bends in the pipe. The outside hood show is for gas only I believe. I would call for sure call this out and also maybe the AHJ.

It is gas. It does look like smoke from a wood stove though.

I would not advise using the term "gas wood stove" in your report.

Yes, I am confused by that too.

Were the fresh air/combustion vents operational/open? Burning "rich", not enough oxygen.

Yes I agree burning rich .

The gas flame when burning is hard to see so they are set slightly out of adjustment to show the flame .

I expect this is just further out of adjustment then it should be .
Recommend service by a qualified person.... Roy
