Sounds to me like the tech is barkin up the wrong tree.I find it hard to believe the draft would make the oil burner kick out, draft speed on the oil side is more a function of efficiency (and safety) sounds to me like there is a mechanical/electrical problem (air in the line or filter issue?)(could be a nozzle/electrode adjustment issue too?) What brand of burner is on the Caddys?
I would think with a 30-35' chimney that thing would draft like a Hoover, I bet that has something to do with the poor performance on the wood side. From your pic of the stove pipe it looks like you have those "small" baros. I bet that is part of the issue, can't get enough air to lower the draft sufficiently. FYI, Fields makes baros that are the full size of the pipe.
Ever get any draft #s from the techs?
