When I ran my base burner in my garage I also had to run a baro to keep my draft below .04 WC, it all depends on the chimney, nothing like the automatic ease of a baro.

Not disagreeing with the logic here...but baro didn't exist when these types of stoves were designed and built, so they took care of over-draft in other ways...a 'by-pass damper' was built into each stove just to control the over draft problem.

But then, the first microwaves didn't have doors, so who knows what's better.

The people during those times were also home to always adjust the by pass dampers, in the modern world today mom and dad work so no ones home to always tinker with the stove, hence the auto future of the baro.

I like doors on my microwave too.
