SO... I purchased a taiwan replica stove today to be installed in my workshop. All metal building.. I know the replica's arent built great.. not too worried about it.

My question is are there any tips or tricks with these stoves? The stove's in my house just have a door and and a damper on the bottom to control the air.. they work great.

This stove has a door in front with air slider on the bottom.. and door on side with air dial on it. Whats with the side door? Do I need to install a chimney damper as well? It came with one from the guy I bought it off of.. but didnt throw it up yet.

Just looking for tips. Again.. this is not going in a living space so I am not worried about safety per se.. more of how to operate it in a safe manner.
