is there a marked difference in the performance of a stove which is linked to different caps? I realize that depending on burning technique, some peoples chimneys/caps may, clog with soot, ash and creosote. However, with clean caps is there a difference in airflow between the various units and back pressure which affects the stove? I know with my pellet grill, the burn is affected if I crank down the chimney cap.
