I spent the night thinking about my soon to build "oak" intake with damper(s). My current exhaust damper doesn't close (poor design). I think I'll add an exhaust damper to the 6" exhaust stack and leave the current damper at stove top wide open. How high above the stove (inches) should the exhaust damper be?
I am imagining using two sensors, one sensor for the stovetop temps and another sensor for the exhaust temps after the damper. Digital temperature controllers and some type of actuators could modulate the exhaust and intake flows to minimize creosote while maintaining longer burn times and increased heat output.
It's the control stradegy that I'm trying to figure out. Anybody have any ideas on this?
