Do I put the flue temperature sensor just after the automatic barometric control, or before it? My installer told me after it (i.e., closer to the chimney side), but the control is only about 6 inches from the chimney, so I'm not sure if the smoke and cool air has a chance to mix together at that point properly and give a good reading?

Hints welcomed.
