Canboy and Musky... So clearly Monesson understands fan noise is a significant customer complaint and has been for years. That is good to know....
Mica, Judging by the photograph that looks like fully open to me. Now, what the automatic set back control does is this. When the stove is...

I guess it is up to you where to place the baffle, but I thought I read it should be all the way back. (Mine is all the way back) The reason you...
