Anyone ever heard of a damper only air controll?
I have these dirt poor neighbors.
Last winter I bought them an airtight stove from a junkyard for $50.
They were trying to heat with a broken window in their existing stove.
This year, someone gave them a "good" stove.
I wish had had taken a picture, but anyway, it is a perfect cube on a pedestal.
It has a double gasket front door (with glass), and is top vented.
It is lined with firebrick, has a steel baffle and an ash draw.
The air inlet is under the door, just a rectangular opening about 2x4 inches.
The flue has a damper.
They are convinced the flue damper is the only contoll.
I am pretty sure the air inlet is missing a piece.
Of course I can make a part for it, but only with their permission.
It is a well made rugged little stove.
If pictures would help, I will take some tomorrow and finaly learn how to post them.
All opinions welcome.
