I always burn at least 1 year old seasoned wood, mostly ash, oak, and maybe a piece of bodock. There is a tee above the stove with the RC control. My 8" metal chimney goes straight to the roof about probably about 22ft. The doors are sealed good and so is the ash box, so not sure why it gets so hot. I have to do the fire regulation with the damper. ![]() I NEVER open the draft door in the ash pan because it lets the firebox get too hot. Still really don't know how to set that thing. Mine has the blower on the back with the Conco RC damper control. Still have the operators manual with part numbers. Mike, did you ever find any parts for your Autocrat stove? I have the same model over 25 years. NEW TO THIS FORUM,BUT I THINK THAT YOU CAN REALLY HELP ME!I'M INSTALLING A AUTOCRAT AMERICANA MODEL#FH76 WOOD STOVE THAT I'VE HAD FOR 20 YRS OR MORE.MY PROBLEM IS AUTOCRAT IS OUT OF BUSSINESS AND I'M TRYING TO FIND A PART FOR THE FIELD TYPE R-C CALIBRATED BAROMETRIC DRAFT CONTROL'THE PART IS THE ADJUSTING WEIGHT,WHICH HAS BEEN MISSING FOR EVER.IF I CAN FIND OUT THE "WEIGHT" OF SAID ADJ WT.I'LL IMPROVISE draft controls product sheets somewhere (Field Types AF, R-C, M, draft controls & Field draft inducers and duct boosters, circa 1973ish), but I couldn't find them, guess I purged them, sorry. ![]() I thought I had some early 70s Field Controls Division, Conco, Inc. IIRC in the 70s those were referred to as "Field type R-C Draft Controls" not "RC" (note hyphen). Heico bought Conco about 1979, I'm not sure if main operations for Field Controls Div had already transferred to NC before the acquisition or if that was closer to 87. via Heico Holdings (same Michael Heisley owner of the Memphis Griz btw).Ĭonco ref w/ or ws/o "field controls division" ref or a Mendota, IL ref would make it likely prior to 1977, if Kinston, NC ref. Re: "not the same manufacturer" reference to field controls.well not exactly true (although wouldn't surprise me if Field Controls are mfg offshore/china now), they are the same, sort of (post acqusitions, etc.).įield Controls LLC is the sucessor of Conco, Inc's Field Controls Division formerly of Mendota, IL, Field Controls LLC is held by Heico Cos Inc. applies only under very special controlled conditions.

These cannot block the flue more than 80%. one of those links shows a typical stovepipe 'key' damper. ![]() John, burning wet wood is a creosote hazard-not having a baro. instroduces dilution air to the stack, which can reduce creosote formation. You need a manometer to set a baro., usually between -0.04to-0.06 inches of water column.Īside from leveling out the burn cycle for a more predictable burn, the baro. damper closes so more heat from the appliance will warm the chimney an re-establish a reasonable draft. Converesely, when the stack gases cool and begin to form creosote, the baro. It prevents the stove from running away causing an unsafe high draft condition. damper regulates the draft in the chimney. While not common with woodstoves, they are a good idea and even recommended by the National Comfort Institute's CO and Combustion cert. damper voids the warranty and listing, I would leave it in place but make sure it is adjusted properly.
