I end up with ashes behind the stove that must blow out the air intake at the rear once it cools down. I am shopping for a new stove for my basement but it will be used mainly on weekends too so I decided I would pass on the PE's. No real complaints with the stove though and our local PE dealer is awesome with service, etc....
I have had it in there since last year but did not start using it until this year with the new chimney, hotter stove top temps and longer heat cycles. Not everyone needs a damper but will work for some, great for over firing issues if you have too much draft, I think it is better than modifying your stove like some do.raybonz said:oldspark said:After I installed my damper I am happy with the Summit.
Did you just install the damper and what did it do for you?

It's a good idea with a tall chimney, DASKY who is a member of this site and installs stoves recomends a damper for a chimney over 20 feet.neumsky said:Getting some good responses on the PE's! I am curious about the damper also...the store I dealt with today said they did'nt believe in putting in dampers if the stove has air control. Responses on that?

That's a new one, I am not even sure it would be possible to suck ashes up through the secondary combustion system and have them come out of the secondary air inlet.
