Check your combustion fan blades, they can get a buildup of hair and dust which will seriously reduce its ability to move air.

The only way that the baro could allow less draft than before would be by having the baro overworked being held wide open constantly admitting huge quantities of cooling air. This is after finding out the the chimney is "sparkling clean".jrn8265 wrote:I just do not understand what may have changed to cause my barodamper(s) to not keep me at .02 as they used to!
Use of a Baro will NOT increase the draft.
All it does is provide another avenue for air to get to the chimney rather than through the grates in the firebox, pit, pot, or whatever shape you burn your solid fuel in.
How about some close up clear photo's of your set up showing the baro and the mano connections as well as them in operation?
