Manometer all over the place

Anybody have same issue Mano is all over the place with these high winds going -3 to -8 baro does not seem to be controling draft no cap on 28ft chimney well above roof line Harmon magnum stocker. Baro set 4. Any possibility of puff back, should stove be shut down? Thanks

It's happening across the board with Sandy. Mine is doing the same. Stove may run a little hotter as the wind blows. Just keep an eye it but it should be fine.

IN my experiences with my baro so far, it seems to smooth out the spikes of the variable pressure. It won't keep it right on your desired draft pressure all the time. Unless of course you have no wind to deal with. They are better at controlling your draft changes due to temperature variations and lite winds. Your draft would yo yo twice as hard or more without it

Ok sounds good, first year with coal little hyper sensitive with co in coal, forum educated me greatly on coal burning, just lit this for the first time yesterday morning, watched all day with no issues, Mano right around -3 to -4 sleep was tough last night. Co detector. With in 6 ft no alarms. I'm hoping this turns out to be a beautiful relationship.

I like your screen name lol, although I was a wood burner for about 3 days, then I bought 300 pounds of coal. Loved it since! As long as your mano never gets to zero and you have CO detectors, your good I admire your concern, better safe than sorry. This is my second year burning coal, I was leery of the CO thing too but after you burn for a while, you'll gain confidence..

What Manometer are you using?

Dwyer mark 2

Oh yeah, mine is yo yo-ing 0.03" to 0.06" I had it pinned shut while I was refueling and it went over 0.1"

My field control type rc draft control is set for 6 on weight on draft door, it's not going any higher than -6 on manometer, but when it drops it goes down -1 then levels out to in between -3 -4 I guess it's just setting its self back to real time draft I assume, also this rc draft has not moved at all since install any ideas on that I would think that it would be moving in these high wind conditions you can't tell it's draft is perfectly at -6 and below any ideas on this condition.

I don't quite understand. In your first post on this thread you said baro set at 4. Are you saying that the baro door isn't opening at all? You may have it set too heavy.

Yes its set at 6 and not moving is this normal.

Yes its set at 6 and not moving is this normal. Between -4 and-6 should be fine for draft?
