I'm thinking of putting a key damper in my 30' stack. I have Selkirk DSP. Their damper kit replaces the stove pipe adaptor on the flue outlet directly on the stove. I clean bottom up from directly in the stove after removing the baffle using a sooteater. My sweep comes once a year and cleans the same way using a brush.
Can the damper be left in place for the cleanings or will it have to be taken out?
