ok, so just today I installed a heat shield behind my old garrison double door woodburning stove..
I'm on my first run since installing it, and I swear it seems like the heat output dropped.
The shield is 24ga , and sits approx 5 " behind the draft knobs.
Is it possible I affected some part of the physics of the thing?
I know I affected something , of course: but a noticeable drop in heat output?
I spose I need to give it a little more time maybe.
It's a direct connect flue, and I'm burning hardwood.
Thanks lads,
Rich
