I just did a small simple test with the direct/indirect exhaust diverter. With warm weather burns I have it open just to help draft mainly. It was open all day today. So, I closed it without changing any combustion air settings. In a matter of 20 minutes, the pipe fell from 153 to 142 and above the load door rose from 207 to 210.

It's a step in the right direction lol. At least it's doing something :lol:

Sideways pictures. Seems like I should know what I'm doing with that issue by now. Cripes!

Lightning, that piece fascinates me. To be honest, if I burned anthracite I would have to do something like that. It has to make a huge difference in the efficiencty of your stove.
I am a by fan! :up:
