Hi, we have a sealed glass door fire place (stove)? in our living room. We had someone come to check it out and were told its all good to be used but we're not sure about everything we are supposed to do.
I cannot find a damper anywhere, there is a top piece (as seen in the pic) that doesn't completely close off the access to the chimney (which looks like metal of some type to me). We've had birds come down a few times and if I move the top piece I can see straight up to the top. The chimney cleaner removed this piece to check everything and when he out it back said, we're all good and you can just light it up and enjoy. I am assuming I don't need to remove this top piece when burning?
We have fans underneath and vents up above that work with a switch. There is this knob underneath that opens a small door, it's been closed since we've been here and I feel some cool air by it when opening it. The chimney guy didn't say anything about it. I believe the slide knob under door is to control air going into fire? Thanks for any help.
We are only planning on using one enviro log here and there more for ambiance than anything else.
