A lot of posts seem to be asking about overfire and/or air control problems. Is it possible for a convection loop to form in a chimney under certain conditions? I'm going from a 4" smoke pipe to a 6" class A chimney. I'm wondering if the relatively small column of heated air rising upon start up or even during normal usage can allow cold air to drop or be pulled down to the combustion chamber. This would seem to be a way for air to flood the stove, even with everything shut down, causing the stove to take off. Would this be an argument in favor of a stovepipe damper? Sorry if this has been covered before. I haven't read very far back in the posts.
