30-95 bingo.. I'm supposed to have back bricks? I picked this up used and it never occurred to me.
My axeman is working fine, Im redoing my Dr Suess plumbing, it's been such a mild fall I got behind on it.

Good to know, I'll have to look at a diagram of where the metal goes.
I'm surprised there isnt more of a heat baffle on the design. But the damper works great at keeping heat loss regulated

The hopper was the baffle. Without the hopper, you'd need a damper of some kind.wnycoalier wrote: ↑Fri. Dec. 02, 2022 9:06 amGood to know, I'll have to look at a diagram of where the metal goes.
