If the chimney has a strong draft, or sees strong winds, 6" may not control the draft properly. You can try it and upgrade later if needed.
An 8" RC type damper would be ideal. I would install it on the pipe with the supplied collar.
Decided on a Coal Boiler...School is in...Radiators

Thanks Q....yeah, I'll have to get a strap mount for it. No one seems to make a 8x6x8 "T". Hey, 50 bucks saved is more coal!

Could sell the 6" baro and skip buying the 8" tee and reducer. Probably end up being the same cost.
I have my baro mounted in a tee, and I would not doing it again. It seems to collect a lot more flyash than the ones I have installed right on the pipe.

I like the pipe mounted arrangement better myself.
Some of the complaints raised by users of the Type M Baro are likely ones mounted in a short tee as well.
The Fields strap and collar meant for baros has a much deeper throat, so it stays a lot cleaner as *RobR* has figured.
