Tell us what kind/brand/type of woodstove you have.

Thanx Bergho for comment,

Its a Saey 92
Its a Two in one, we dont have gas in the village so its wood or coal,,
When i burn coal its with a hopper,,, thats fine, but burning wood al gohs to the chimney its burns to well, now i have a automatic draft damper installed (see picture) it works perfect and the flames are slowing down, but its not safe because its the coldest place and it buld up with cerosoot (i dont have because its just installed)

what is the best solution in my case?

To much draught? Is that a problem? In Norway, generally I more often hear of weak draught as a problem.

I don't know the make of your stove, and have never seen an automatic draught regulator. What I do recognise from our quite similar Jøtul F3, is a row of square holes (vents?) above the door. Can those be closed, at least partially, by sliding the two shiny knobs? The bigger knob on the wright side, does that one control a vent? If so, keep them fully open in the beginning. Close them slightly when the chimney gets hot (= good draught) and the flames are getting intense. But do not be afraid of intense flames, even if they get blueish colour. That's just a sign of good and complete combustion with less smoke, particles and tar entering the chimney.

I make more pictures later this evening for the info of my stove (sorry for my bad english)

Do you have ventilation in your house? Could this affect your draft?
Like stated above, too much draft is i general usually not an issue.

My stove manual says hunted ,,, the flames enter the chimney draupht must be between the 10 and the 20 pa (pascal) my draupht in with a hot chimney 35 pa see my next picture,,, my fire is always ( i hope its the good word) hunted ,,, the flames enter the chimney too quickly and my stove gets (ithink) not hot enough, also my window is verry quick nasty and it burns not clean,,,

So wat i did was i bought this (automatic) draupht regelator, they sel thees in amerika for coal stoves and here in belgium and netherlands for wood stoves,,, it works perfect, you can turn on the wheel on the regelator to set youre PA(pascal what neded for youre stove) in ky case on 15 PA its opens when the draft is higher also with windy days,,but there is one thione thing thats bad and its its always a colder place by the damper because its taking cold aire and that piece of chimney is not hot enauph,,,

Also they put a manual damper in the pipe i think thats better but i dont have this one..

I now also burn a lot less wood with this damper But its not the best option...

Its a stove without stone inside its just a iron stove i think youre stoves (jotul) is so much better but i like the saey 92.

Hello Sean,

No ventilation,, its a old house, its also only when the chimney is hot,

THe front slides(slots) are for de window air claening,,?? I got that from the manual of the stove

Ow yes, and its works with a bimetal thermostaat

Do you keep the lid on the back off the stove open? That is for making more draught through the «bonfire isnt it?
