Excessive draft Question (shorten pipe )

[Dennis 2]

I'm getting excessive draft . I can shorten my wood chase that my Jackes -Evans pipe goes through, which would let me shorten my pipe 3Ft. ( Chimney is 28ft high) . before I go through all this work , Would this help enough to slow my draft down for longer burns .
thanks

what about putting a damper in the stack? they are cheap and if it doesn't work you just leave it wide open and nothing is affected.

I tried that , But it didn't do much to help.

oh ok..

If a damper didn't slow down the draft, I don't know what will. You sure thats your problem?

stove is fine. no leaks .It's just the height of the pipe that's the problem.

Barometric Draft Regulator this may help, work for me

A pipe damper (if properly installed) has the ability to darn near shut off the exhaust pipe. Between the air controls of your stove and the pipe damper, you should be able to control your burn rate at almost an infinite level. 28 ft of pipe is not that unusual. Something doesn't add up.

I have 27' of liner here and although a strong draft, nothing out of control.
I'd double check for leaks.

high winds with no wind breaks is the problem with mine

I Have a Barometric Draft Regulator installed. It did help some, but not enough . I had the stove checked out and its fine . I do get alot of cross west wind . I was thinking about putting a down draft cap on , which also helps to much up-draft .
