At this point im about half way through the rows around the stove and have been adding some more recent chopped stuff as I go. I'm pretty sure all the wood is silver maple. Im getting good heat but it doesn't stay around long. What is your view on using the damper. When I bought the stove a Waterford Trinity way back I was told not to use the damper as you can overheat the stove. I can see ive put a line on there and at some point did experiment with it and checked stove temps and was fine but I leave it full open as i was told originally. Just wondered your thoughts and how you approach this or dont.
