Hello everyone, I just recently installed a drolet escape 1200 and absolutely love it. I've had two fires and kept them both small trying to break in the stove.
My question is, after I had my first fire it went through all of my wood. I thought it would of left some wood in the stove for me. Coming from kamado style bbqs this is not acceptable! I was wondering if I install a damper will it save me some wood for next time because it'll cut the fire out quicker?
Also on my second burn that I just did the Temps got to 300f and I tried closing the air all the way but they still climbed to 400 before starting to go down. So another reason why a damper seems necessary.
Someone said I don't need one because my chimney isn't that tall (about 10 feet) but will it help me save wood for the next burn and help my turn down the temp faster?
