Broken in, and first “full temp” fire. This stove seems to want to cruise along at 650-700 or so…yikes..

Better to try this approach first, than to alter the stove and possibly void the warranty.
I've got two pipe dampers in SIL1's 16' stack, on the easy-breathing PE T5. She doesn't usually need both, but the second one definitely cuts more air than just one.
I bought one, but I'll need to buy a different straight section because the extendable one I bought fits perfectly not extended at all. Of course.
It's all about how it looks in the room. So I'll be cutting 15" pieces of wood for the foreseeable future....
Is this pic fully closed air control? When I first installed my 602CB the air slide didn’t seem to fully close but after awhile it loosened up and just about closed completely. When reloading with a good coal bed I was shutting the air down within 5 min. This stove can really take off fast, using a pipe thermometer will help.
Yes, that is full closed. I have the CB too, and there are two cast "bumps" on the inside of the V2 that prevent it from closing like the CB does.
Yeah I saw a video on YouTube where a guy ground those bumps down to close the air more.
I think I actually posted that here. The CB door definitely closes more. It's so sloppy anyway, even fully closed it still sucks air. I think someone said as per design, it brings in air over the front glass too.
Yeah I believe there is no glass or door gasket on top that allows unregulated air wash over the glass so it’s getting plenty of air even if the primary air slide is fully closed.
