I think I keep over-firing my lopi liberty

Why are you so sure a pipe damper is the wrong answer. Maybe you would also greatly benefit from one? If a stove is that volatile, something might need addressed.

What's your take on this? Why don't you try a pipe damper?

I guess the dude has lost interest in talking about flue dampers......

I have the same stove,25 ft of flue and a damper in the flue. If I don't use it on very cold windy days my flue will suck the horns off a Billy Goat

An excellent description of my system as well... the colder it gets, the more important it is to have that flue damper doing it's job; otherwise, the stove would have been launched into orbit long ago......

I'm burning maple and ash right now also and I have to be extremely careful with the amount of wood I load and the coal bed size. I've had the stove top glowing once already. A pipe damper would be a wise decision. I have 22 ft of flue straight up and it will suck the horns off a billy goat like fespo said. I keep saying I'm going to install one but I have a hard time remembering to open the bypass damper let alone a pipe damper. It seem like when I'm able to have a fire 24/7 I don't have as many runaways because I'm able to get a burning schedule set thus reducing the possibility of hot reloads.
