I was out snooping in my neighbors backyard...

[chucker]

A neighbor of mine went away for a couple days and I agreed to build fires in his small house for him so stuff wouldn't freeze. He's got a small stove that works well, but no damper on the pipe. I gave him a ride to town the other day and mentioned the lack of damper. He said the stove manufacturer said no damper was needed. I suggested a lot of heat was passing up the pipe, and he was burning a lot more wood than if he put on a damper. He didn't seem impressed at my reasoning, preferring to rely on the manufacturers suggesstion. Great neighbor, really friendly guy, but got this idea in his head. I suppose the polite, most neighborly thing to do is not bring it up again.

no matter how good of a neighbor he is "YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID OR BRAIN DEAD/DEAF"!!. lol

HUH?

 

[chucker]

HUH?

a damper.. best advise you could have suggested to a good neighbor.

 

[Idahonative]

And noticed that some of the wood he had was stacked bark-down. What should I do?

Go up and knock on his door, talk to him for a little bit, and if you determine he has Alzheimer's, STEAL HIM BLIND! That's what Ironworker and Nathon (aka Francis) would do. Five minutes after you've got the truck all packed up heading down the road, the guy will forget you were ever there.

That would be a blue ribbon...

That's twice you have corrected me today. Good thing they took the dislike away, because I would have to dislike you. Nobody likes a know it all, or someone picking on the disabled. "stupid"

then you can go to Idahonative's house and give him some wood...I hear he doesn't discriminate...will take any and all kinds

What happened to the yellow guy poking a stick into the eye of another yellow guy? Was that taken out for promoting violence or something?

Maybe he just understands how it operates better than you do. If it is a modern sealed stove a damper will do nothing to prevent heat loss up the flue, as the flow is controlled by the air inlet controls.

Yep, the Xbox one was funny...wasn't sure if he had Asperger's syndrome or had spent too much time on AS.
