I would like to buy a manometer. In your opinion, what style,and brand, would you recommend? Would you go with the single probe, or double probe? It would be used mainly for checking chimney drafts. Thanks

For you manometer people out there, took and put a piece of alum foil over my barometer usually set for .06, got .10 and on some wind gusts got .13, then foil was removed. Interesting test.

Yes, because the baro controls the draft of the stove, when you block the extra air from the room, your draft on your stove goes up, then when it's really cold and your stove is really cranking, I bet you will get even more draft....
That's why its good to have a baro damper, otherwise you suck all that extra heat up your chimney.....
