some type of restriction in the cold feed to the stove, a problem with the heat exchanger loop in the stove or the feed back to the house. Time to do some investigative work.

If we were there, we could diagnose it and decide where the problem is. We cannot do that from here.

let me rephrase that not air bursts but air in the line but only in the hot water line.

Sounds like a wood boiler with a tankless coil. If so you might be limited to a certain ammount of flow from it and you also might be over heating it and "cooking" out some air. Is that what you have? If so Look up the specs on the coil. That could explain a lot. Also, make sure you have a mixing valve in place and you are not delivering dangerous water temps to the house!
