Wood Stove Damper

A wood stove damper allows you to control the burn of your fire by regulating the ammount of combustion air flow. Some stove have them, some don't. Some have by-pass dampers on the stove (a different kind of damper than what we sell.) If you're looking for a cast iron damper that fits inside the stove pipe, you've come to the right place. BuyAceHardware.com carries a 6" cast iron damper and a 7" cast iron damper, both by Imperial. Notice these wood stove dampers have holes in them. This design ensures you can never fully close off your stove pipe. Ideally you will open your wood stove damper completely when you start a fire. This is when smoke is at a maximum and draft is at a minimum. Once the fire gets going, you can adjust your damper to suit your burn needs.
