Ok, so been going pretty good with my new Oslo...can't really complain much. There are some nights I don't seem to get good secondary action, but I"m learning little things about stacking the wood in the box and such so all in all I think I'm having a great year so far for a new burner-but it is certainly due to a year or two on this board asking questions and reading great threads!!
One question though. I have a key damper in my stove pipe (which is double wall) and the installer said "don't ever use that". No real explanation after I pressed him, he just said to use the air control in the front. I think he said in case of a runaway fire or chimney fire to use it, but other than that...nil. This is the same guy who said not to get advice from internet message boards![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/rolleyes.gif)
I've done some searches and such, but didn't really find any good info on what it is actually used for and if I should be adjusting it and such. I guess in older stoves it was the way to control the air flow, but with the air flow on the front I guess I don't see that as needed. What is the damn thing for, lol.
