snapper Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Dennis e-mailed me with a Owner's Manuel. Therein, it states that the more you open the Damper the temperature decreases and the less it open the temperature increases. Is that right, I always thought it was the reverse.

The more airflow, the higher the temp. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firemonkey Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 With lump, the reverse is true...more open=more air=more heat. With the gas burner, I suspect what you read is true. More open=more heat escape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty amazing no one else ever noticed this flip.. Possibly because the correct information it's stated many other times before that our brains just discard the new inverted information.. Original 3. Opening the damper top further will decrease the temperature and reducing the damper top opening will increase the temperature. Corrected 3. Opening the damper top further will increase the temperature and reducing the damper top opening will decrease the temperature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastedMorsel Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 'nuff said Too much Tequila & lemons - eh? hehe -=Jasen=- Tequila often distorts my understanding of increase, decrease and of course the infamous in-de-crease. My guess this happens to Dennis too... Easier to remember Open = Hot Closed = Not hot.. 'nuff said, now you know I'm drinking Tequila!
