I set the barometric (at one time) to achieve the desirable interior flue temp. The hotter the flue gases going up the chimney, the more wasted heat. The 600-800 number is related to efficiency. The 1000 number is about 1/2 the constant rating of a Class A chimney, which to me is a safety factor. In my experience for a wood stove I want interior flue temp not to exceed 1000, and more usually be about 600-800. Interior flue temp is about twice stove pipe surface temp when measured about 18-24" above the flue outlet on the stove. You also can set it by experience to maintain a proper burn.Īnother way I have used (but no longer use a barometric) is measuring interior flue temperature with a probe thermometer.

The manual may tell you what this should be for proper operation. Ideally the barometric is set to maintain the w.c. As draft decreases, the rate of burn (and temp) should decrease. As room air is sucked in, the amount of burn exhaust is limited, thus decreasing the furnace/stove draft between the barometric and the flue outlet on the stove. When and how much it opens is set by the weight. As that vacuum increases, the weighted damper on the barometric is "sucked" open to admit room air. As the draft in the chimney increases, that is, as more and more burn exhaust goes up the chimney, the effect is a vacuum in the chimney. The barometric damper is a draft control device. Why not ask the Admin to move your post to the Hearth Room? That's the best place for you. I think the barometric is the last resort, and a bit dangerous at that, as in the event of a chimney fire they can "fan the flames." I would do my slow experimenting with the barometric locked closed.
You really shouldn't need a barometric damper, as the other draft controls should be able to be set to allow the furnace to burn properly without the barometric. My best advice is to go slow, experiment some, try to understand how the stove operates best as it is supposed to, and learn. The room thermostat tells the combustion fan to start when it is not warm enough and shuts it off when you're comfortable." That turns on the combustion fan to get the wood burning. Put some kindling in, light it with a match, and turn the thermostat up. "Jacks operate on a forced draft principle. That said, the Yukon website describes the Super Jack as follows, which does not exactly match with your experience: The Hearth Room might be a better place for your questions, as this is the Boiler Room.
Look like you have a forced air add-on furnace. I tried leaving the door draft open but when the blower turned on it forced smoke out of the door draft. In the past I ve been leaving the draft on the door completely closed when using the blower draft, after reading a few thing here I am beginning to believe this might be the sourse of my creosote by choking the fire inbetween burns with the draft blower. I have a blower draft on a thremostat control, and it also has a manuel draft on the door. I have a barometric draft on the stove pipe, how do I set it? Now I have it set so the wind can't blow it
DRAFT FAN WITH DRAFT CONTROL FOR OWB HOW TO
I think my problem is I have no idea on how to set or use the draft controls on the stove. I was burning wood that was dried for two years so I don't think it is a green wood problem. I was cleaning the pipes and chimney almost once a week, furnace did a good job of heating but the amount of creosote make me worry about a chimney fire. First leason learned.Īfter that I used the draft fan with caution, but then run into a mountain of creosote.

Threw a couple arm loads of wood in the box, struck a match, turned the draft blower on and dang I got heat! Me and the wife started to get nervous about the time the house hit 90 inside, then it got down right scary about the time the house hit 95 with doors and windows open. Last year I broke down and installed a wood furnace in my basement, gonna save thousands, the web site told me so.
