I just purchased a US Stove 2016EB and it does not have any air intake controls. I am going to install a flue damper but I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on what to do/use to control the intake. Thank you!

First page of the owner's manual says that it has one burn rate and you can't use a flue damper.

The next page says that it will void your warranty.

I am guessing that this stove at 66% efficiency struggled mightily to get 2015 certified, and that's where the air controls went.
