[QUOTE="Dalmatian90, post: 1844435, member: 28208"] Most things from the Fisher stoves of the 1970s on through the modern EPA approved stoves. You can close the air dampers on them and cut off their air supply completely. Non air-tight stoves need to have a damper on the stove pipe to control the fire, because you can't completely turn off the air. Anyway, there is some wiggle room. A Fisher style stove is in the 60-70% efficiency range, while the top of the line catalytic converter EPA approved stoves are up around 85%. The non-cat EPA stoves are in between those two. My old fashion Boxwood is a classic non air-tight stove. The air damper only controls part of the flow. It can still draw air from a gap at the bottom of the door, and from around stove plates on the top. It needs a stove pipe damper to help control the fire. Seen pictures from of Civilian Conservation Corps barracks using stoves identical to mine. [/QUOTE]
