I have an older Alaska Channing that has a fume switch on the side is this only for DV/ PV stoves? I am using a chimney do I Need to use the fume switch? It was broken in transport and was going to block it off.

not normally, they are always used on a DV/PV setup. It is a good safety device if you have a chimney problem, but not normally installed on the natural draft stoves.
