Hi guys, quick question (though I'm sure it'll lead to a lot of opinions). I have a freestanding slow burning wood heater (an older model of something like this https://saxonwoodheaters.com.au/saxon-blackwood-freestanding-wood-heater/ )
I was wondering if there was any point in installing a flue damper? Not to stop things entering from the top - I have a flue cap for that. Not to stop a draught in summer - I can close the air inlet. I was thinking of one to help keep more heat in the fire box. Or is it the sort of thing where I'll either smother the fire or die of CO positioning?
Thanks heaps,
Adam
