Oh yeah. We closed the bypass damper back when experimenting and it brought the magnet down low but the stove wasn’t getting very hot either. It’s going to be really interesting to see.
Out of curiosity , you have a rough estimate of how much a stainless steel liner is to install? I know it’s probably hard to estimate
Also by draft? You’re talking the cool temperature right and the potential for build up? Because our draft is amazing with this thing in terms of getting smoke out the chimney.
Sorry for all the questions. My husband and I have never had this issue before but we’ve never been in a situation with a cat stove and a home where people cut corners 😩
