more embers the better the heat out put or if there are alot of embers, the less the air can get in and less heat.

What type of stove are you burning?

seems if I almost close my damper and let the pot fill up a bit, I get more heat. However, I think if I let it go with almost no air, it will over fill and burn poorly. (make sense)

Maybe, but on the other hand
