Chimney damper for the access

[Deere-nh]

Hello folks, do they make a damper that I can close without access to the pipe?

Another thought, can you put a damper in a 90°?

My VC aspen C3 is in my fireplace place and immediately goes to a 90, then a Tee connection, and finally the SS liner.

I have tried limiting the OAK but if I do the stove makes a smell. Woodstove burns very hot.

You can put it in the 90.

How tall is the chimney?
Do you have a thermometer on the stove someplace?

Is the yellow stuff glass fiber? That would not be correct; it should be rockwool.

The furnace cement should not be needed on the connections; they should seal well by themselves. (And I'm not sure the 90 is correctly connected to the T; the T should go into the 90)

20' SS liner

Yes stove pipe thermometer and verified with FLIR IR camera. Stove routine burns 700 to 800.

The fiberglass is rockwool insulation

I understand the furnace cement is not needed. It's a long story but I was getting a funny smell and thought it maybe leaking from stove pipe. See previous thread

The T is the male and the female is the 90. Is that incorrect?

Okay. 20 ft is good not likely too much.
700-800 is high but not too high imo.

Is this a new stove? It'll smell in the first fires, each time a higher temp is reached. Maybe the insulation is off gassing too? A lot of surface area to get hot ....

I've never seen yellow rockwool - so I learned something today

Male/female is correct, it looked like the other way around.

You had me worried about the insulation...

The stove is a couple years old and ran 6 cord through it. I am not exactly sure why I was getting a smell when I limited the air to the OAK.

I thought 800 was too hot for cast iron.

I will have to see if I can get the damper in the 90. It looks like it be very tight.
