SEE FIRST COMMENT IN COMMENT SECTION, REGARDING USE OF THE TERM "FLUE" FOR THE DAMPER!

In this video: My wood burning stove is out of control! No matter how much I close the air intake, it still burns out of control. The fire is RICH in Fuel (wood) but low on air so it burps up cloudy smoke through my chimney due to poor fuel/air mixture. This can contribute to creosote buildup, aside from just an out of control burn. This is no different than how a carburetor works.
Today, we add a simple flue damper (or updraft regulator flap) to the flue pipe and get back control of the fire! This will let me wood burn lower and longer through the night, and give me better control of my stove temperature.
