Minister of Fire
That's just a band aide on a potentially bigger issue, high draft even with the air turned down will suck out heated air faster from the fire box giving cooler cat temps and less heat into the room which then causes the user to turn the t-stat up more which then reduces burn times, uses more fuel, potential cat plugging / clogging issues and a bad user experience.Turn down the stat to reduce useable air while in open bypass mode? Should be able to cure his issue I would think. Worth a try for sure.
