Got one of those old round oil heaters to go in my shop. think its made by Thaarrington. A buddy of mine said not to use the dampener used on a wood heater. He said I gotta get an automatic sorta thing that looks like a Tee to go along with the stove pipe. IS THIS RIGHT??? thanks yall

I was raised on these heaters, we had 2 in the
house, upstairs and down. Around here they're called space heaters and have a carburetor at the
rear bottom of the stove. They're lit thru an access door in the front after first letting in a bit of oil. If we're talking about the same thing, a bit of advice. If yours is circa 1970-60 check out the
bottom of the chamber for leaks. The chamber is roughly 3/16in or so thick steel but after a few years rust out especally at the bottom. If that happens a fire will spread onto the floor. Brush out the bottom with a steel brush and check the fitting to the chamber for rust. Tap the bottom with a length of steel rod. It should sound solid and not tinny. Try the stove outdoors first with a length of pipe and connect it to a coffee can
filled with kero. Run it minimum and maximum to see how it goes and let it get hot. Check for leaks. They still do carburetor overhauls at
furnace supply outlets and camping trailer
outlets. Place the stove on a tin pan of 30 by 30 inches by 2in high to catch oil drips.

Yup!! The 2 devices serve totally different functions. Tha damper ina wood stove stack acts like a choke on a carb, regulating the fire by limiting the flow of combustion gas thru the stack.
The T looking device on an oil stack is a draft regulator that keeps the draw on the stack from developing a vacuum on the fire by admitting air into the stack.

The draft regulator will also help to keep the smoke and other exhaust gases from backing out of the heater (and into your shop) when the wind gusts.
