Hi all... new to the forum and wood burning. Got last season under my belt, and learned a lot.
I found an older Lilly stove from a friend of a friend, and got a good deal. Freshened it up, and it looks great.
Still needs a little TLC, but was good for the first season.
Had some struggles keeping fires all night with enough left over to start in the morning without paper and matches.
I noticed at the end of the year, the "automatic" damper on the back never seemed to have moved, and was wide open
all year. Probably contributed to my exorbitant wood usage and very hot fires. I even managed to burn out the door seal
at the bottom of the main door a couple times.
Main question:
Is it possible to add dampers to the door to add a little control to the amount of air going into the stove?
Well, i'm sure it's possible, but how practical / feasible is it??
Thanks
