Do they work well on a wood stove or furnace? Are they better than a normal manual damper? How about using both?
.......plus barometric dampers cool down the stack causing more creosote formation.
Exactly...... and cooler temps result with less draft more smoke etc. as warm air rises and cool air falls.
As far as the creosote goes about every week or so i let er rip and get things really really hot and a lot of it melts down but sit right on top of it when doing this as it can get the single wall pipe cherry red fast, when this just starts its time to shut er down by then I have melted a good portion of creosote down. Not the most safe thing to do but does cut down on creasote buildup and chimney cleanings.
