Does it make sense to start with the barometric damper, set it accordingly, and see how it goes? Is the manometer essential, or an asset, or just a good idea? Thanks. New territory for me.

Well, good question...normally I'd say you could just try the baro and go from there, but with a chimney that tall, I'm betting that won't be enough, at least when it's real cold out.
But it's up to you, you'll get it sorted out either way...install the baro n report back...good thing about it is that none of this stuff is expensive.

I have a pretty tall flue as well and I use a short horizontal piece before going vertical, manual damper, all double wall. I used to use a Dwyer mano but last year switched to a magnehelic and I love how responsive it is compared to the mano! My setup does really well around -.04" to -.05". I do have to open manual damper each time I load, then close it based on outdoor conditions but I'm so used to it by now.
