She looks like a beast,,
I've been burning wood for years and always use a stack temp. gauge so I can tell how the stove is running.. for me 100 to 150 deg. and the stack is warm enough to start closing it down,, I usually run a stack temp between 250 and 350.. mine is an airtight but like someone else said not many of them really are,,, I would never try to smother a fire by closing things up.. You will get smoke back,, you want to regulate the fire by the amount of wood you put in it,, 20 below night I fill her up,, going to be 25 above about half full..
It's all in the learning what our stove wants no 2 are the same and different dryness of wood or different types of wood burn differently..
Good luck to you as for the divorce been there done that a few times,, A good lawyer is the only thing that helps ..
