I just put a used oil stove in my shop. I have never been around anything but a wood stove. I have run the heater and it works good, but it has a damper (if that is what it is) in the chimney. It is a T type with a small knob that can be turned, it pivots and I think the knob has a weight on it to balance the flap to open. Can someone tell me how to adjust this when the stove is running.

Thanks,
Bob

Using a water tube manometer, you measure the draft over the fire, through a small access hole.

If your heater has a rating plate, it may give a spec. for draft over the fire.

... Example ... .05" W.C. ... this would be the measurement of the deflection of the Water Column in your "U" tube manometer, measured in inches,

Perhaps someone will post with a typical spec. for an oil burner. I'm suffering from CRS tonite, and am unsure.

Boy--It's been a long time since I have seen one of those. Well here is basicly how it works. A damper was originally put on the chimney to keep the heat from all going up and out into the air. Another words , when you had a good hot fire and stoked it for the night, you would shut the damper down or block the pipe so the fire wouldn,t breathe. You would also close the damper on the ash box on wood or coal burners. On oil burners, it's a little different. The screw weight should be set so that it will flap about a quarter open. On a windy day, it will drive you nuts flapping in the wind.----Have I confused you yet???? Hope this helps....deadeye
