You can put the damper where you like. By heat exchanger do you mean a "magic heat"? If so, they are frowned upon on this site. Do a search for magic heat. They cause a lot of creosote build. When flue gases fall below 212
in the chimney, the moisture condenses causing creosote, which will lead to a flue fire if not swept regularly (weekly?). A Papa Bear should make tons of heat without the "magic".
Edit: I just read your other thread, good advice from begreen and coaly.
