the real question is do you need a damper? most epa stoves dont require one as the air is controlled on the primary intake. it can come in handy if you have a really tall chimney and an exceptional draft but mostly its not needed (IMO)
Didnt need one with my Keyston but when I got the Progress I always needed to shut the air down completely and Woodstock said it may help but 50/50 choice
Have a awesome draft as my pipe about 25 feet high.
Just got damper installed and just having it in seems to allow me a little more air control i.e.: not just closed but have it just not quite closed and getting that good slo burn
Just have the damper turned ever so slightly so I think just the little bit of air flow restriction made a difference
Again could have kept it without but probably will be able to have more control
