Hey all, I recently installed a new Napoleon 1400pl. my question is can you / should you use a damper in the stove pipe. I have heated with wood for 25+ years. Last stove was a 1980's ($800.00) Country Flame. The theory I am accustomed to has always been, control the air going in, balanced with the air going out, key word here is BALANCE. With the new stove (dangit, I bought the thing on line from a not so reputable dealer and they are NO help) once I get the thing up to temp it wants to run away ... to some degree, without enough control and we are left with little coals/heat after an overnight fire. Seems to me that if I install a damper in the pipe I can obtain better control and maintain heat in the stove rather that it going up the stack. I purchased a Rutland stove thermometer & the difference in the stove temp and pipe temp (@ 6" above stove) is considerable. Burn zone on the stove is not obtained on the pipe. I have been told the the manufacturer does not recommend a damper in the pipe. Any suggestions here. Thanks, Greg in Oklahoma
