Keep in mind that the draft will fluctuate slightly with wind gusts. The RC does an awesome job limiting but there is still the inertial forces of the baro door that the draft will have leverage on.

I have done the same thing. An extra washer made all the difference and gives me just a bit to play with.Jlinde37 wrote: ↑Fri. Feb. 05, 2021 2:46 pmMy brand new field control rc 6 set in the correct slot on the left (Horizontal) locked at the lowest draft setting (according to the number on the baro is says it shoukd be 0.02) My Dwyer mark ii perfectly calibrated is reading .03-.04 right at the boiler breach. I added a small washer behind the weight to add more weight to get to get the baro to stay open to get a .02 setting.
