Anyone else having severe high winds today? What are your baro's and manometer doing. My baro is going nuts and mano is pretty much staying the same except for occasionally spiking.

thats what it should do is keep a constant draft on the stove. open and close as expected. just make sure it doesn't get stuck open, that happens also in high winds creating increased drafts.

Your mano will fluctuate a hair while the baro is doing it's job.. that's normal. Try pinning it shut during a heavy wind gust lol.

There's no better example of what a barometric damper is supposed to do than when you have winds like we did on Monday.
