Apparatus and method for burning wood
A thermostatically actuated arrangement for controlling opening and closing movement of the damper of a wood burning stove includes a duct arrangement extending through the combustion chamber of the stove between an air intake end opening through the stove housing at a location in the lower portion thereof and a discharge end opening through the stove housing at a location upwardly spaced from the intake end, for passage of ambient air through the duct arrangement for radiant heating thereof during burning of wood in the stove to create a continuous convective flow of heated air from the intake end to the discharge end, and a sensitive bimetallic spring disposed to receive the convective air flow from the duct arrangement at its discharge end and operably associated with the damper of the stove for actuating opening and closing movements thereof in response to decreases and increases in the temperature of the airflow.
