George I wish you the best of luck with your Baro. Who knew one couldn't find Baro's outside of the US?

Coal is not common fuel here, so baro dampers are not made or imported to Greece...ONEDOLLAR wrote:Or Ouzo?michaelanthony wrote:I know you have some XXX olive oil for that.

Hi KaptJaq,KaptJaq wrote:Hi George,
Sorry but I have been away so I did not see this thread. The Godins are nice stoves. I have used them since 1989. My current stove is in my avatar, a 3721. It was installed in 1979 and was here when I bought the house.
Out of curiosity what size pipe are you using? The Godins like a smaller pipe. My 3721 is a 10kw (35kBTU) stove that uses 110mm pipe, about 4.5 inches. Your problem may have been that the pipe was too large for the stove so the draft was inconsistent, slight change in temperature created a major change in draft.
Hopefully the baro will smooth the draft out.
I've never seen a new Godin before. Are they still popular in your country?
Enjoy your stove,
KaptJaq
Going from 97mm to 120mm is a big change for such a small stove. Is you flue very long? The longer the flue the less effect the change in diameter will make.Georgelap wrote:...I use 120mm ... ...(godin recommends 97mm)...
Have you ever had a bigger pipe than you have now?
Godin stoves are still manufactured in France and most of European countries import them!
I really like to disconnect my eyesore handmade baro for a thinner pipe if I know in advance that it will work fine.
My chimney is about 6m long. The hole diameter is 120mm.KaptJaq wrote:Going from 97mm to 120mm is a big change for such a small stove. Is you flue very long? The longer the flue the less effect the change in diameter will make.Georgelap wrote:...I use 120mm ... ...(godin recommends 97mm)...

In my old house I had a 3731, a newer version of the 10kw. I had 5 feet of 5 inch pipe then 25 feet of 6 in insulated pipe. It worked well. You might try to extend your flue a few feet higher, cover your baro, and see if it is better.
My wife is French. When we need parts for the Godin her father sends them to us. Much cheaper than trying to find them here. I have seen Godins here(USA), France, and Great Briton but never anyplace else. Most of the ones here are pre-1980.

I wish I could tell you that the proper size pipe would solve your problem and let you remove the baro but I cannot. Every install is different. If I had 97mm pipe available I might be tempted to try it but not if the baro is working and the 97mm pipe is going to cost a lot.Georgelap wrote:My chimney is about 6m long.

3m inside the house and 3m outside. The outside part is insulated.

Unfortunately, they also don't have owner manuals in English
