Good things... this thing heats amazing and turned out beautiful. But... went through a whole winter last year with a bad draft at the bottom of the stove where the control arm is. Assuming it's the 4" OAK to outside that's causing it... what to do? I don't have room for a damper inside (thought about installing a 4" electric damper but cannot get it to fit now that everything is installed).
FP30 is on outside wall and OAK is directly behind it. Approx. 30' straight chimney. This seems like a major problem with these stoves... my thought are everything from taping off/blocking the OAK entirely to stuffing rockwool in the control assembly. Really hoping there's a better, solid option to prevent this horrible draft. From forum posts it sounds like I'm not alone but cannot find a "magic bullet" in the forums. Plus I wanted a chance to show off the install
