I have been trying to fine tune my Econoburn 200. I installed a thermocouple right in the flue collar and saw temps as high as 640 with clean tubes. I moved the thermocouple to 15" above the center of the flue outlet and see temps in the mid 450 and less. But I have a barometric damper letting in cooler air. If I hold it shut the temp rises quickly but so does the draft. I am monitoring it with a Dwyer manometer.
So here is a picture of the damper install. It does maintain the correct draft but will it hurt anything in this location?
I have considered moving it but I am concerned about sparks in the boiler room. I have had the occasional puffing the slams the damper.
