Good point, Pen.....that is overlooked all too often, no matter what kind of stove is being discussed.....when we started woodburning there was a 'confidence curve', esp. with the wife if say I was working overtime or hunting, she had to learn to control and trust the stove...I never had to put a damper in the pipe but had to really teach her about the different wood species, wind effect on the stack, draft control, etc......she's got it down pretty good now....Danno how tall is your flue?pen said:Can't remember how tall your chimney is Danno, but another thought might be to put an damper in the flue pipe if you have a strong draft driving this thing.
I don't use mine often, but I think the wife does. She's happy to keep the stove going if I'm not here, but sometimes loading techniques as you guys are discussing fall on deaf ears with her. I consider that thing her brake pedal.
