damper in a stove pipe???

Posted by dave2 on October 10, 2012 at 11:55:12 from (79.240.148.207):

What purpose does the damper serve??? Asking because we have an older stove that doesn't have one. Does the damper just compensate (??) for a stove that isn't air tight? Or does it keep heat from going up the chimney??

SWMBO is complaining that the stove doesn't heat as fast as her glass fronted one in the living room.... Keep telling her that it's not the same type of stove and she needs to be patient, but if a damper in the pipe would help.... I'll put one in..... stove itself is tight tho..... Just one that takes a day or so to warm everything up and keep comfortable.....
