Adding a key damper to insert

[Rob711]

Im anticipating problems I don’t yet have. My house is being renovated, requiring the extension of masonry chimney, about 8 feet, all exterior, total of 23’. See my avatar, so say I removed the intrepid and had a bk asford 25 in its place.
Could I leave a manometer? Whatever measures wc connected to pipe permanently? Do I make up some sorta linkage to adjust damper, possibly punch a small whole through center of fireplace to connect to damper? Attempt to drill through cast surround...gasp..
Anyone do this?

That's the problem with an insert. I wish I had your old setup.

I ran one on 25' 6" insulated with no problem.

Thanks for replies. How about manometer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009PAN3C8/?tag=hearthamazon-20
Could I permanently mount this say on the side of a built in next to fireplace. I assume there would need to be metal tubing ran to it.
