Screens

[EatenByLimestone]

If I don't get my ash door or front door completely closed I end up cooking my stovepipe. How do people run screens without overfiring their stove? Do you cut down the draft? If so, how do you keep smoke from pouring out the front?

Having an option for a screen was one of my requirements when I was shopping for a stove. Now that the stove is installed and I have been using it for a while, I couldn't really imagine using a screen. I think smoke would poor out the top and ash would spill out the front after several hours of burning.

Anyone brave enough to give it a go? Seems like a messy experiment.

I got the screen with the F3 and I had one for the Sierra for twenty years. I used the one with the Sierra twice that I can recall, when we had guests, and have only used the one with the F3 once. Smoke coming out of either wasn't a problem and certainly not overheating. They pull in so much air that neither the stoves nor the flues got hot.
