Hey you woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!
Go on fleabay or the big "A", search Dwyer manometer, look for a Dwyer Mark II, I have bought 2 of them now that way for $20 or under delivered. If you don't want to wait for a deal then $30 - $40 is easy to find on there right now. This model works great for this application. Oh, and make sure what you buy has the red gauge oil with it, it is pricey to buy separately.

OK thanks I will do
I bought this digital one from Amazon. It costs a little more, but I like it better than the other ones. http://www.amazon.com/Meters-PDMM01...UTF8&qid=1423407934&sr=8-1&keywords=manometer

Hey you woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!
Wow, that's a good price for a digital meter. I'm partial to an "analog" meter like the Mark II for a reading like draft that can jump around a bit pretty quickly. Just me, personal preference. Digital would probably be easier for the average Joe to operate
I have to call you out on a few things. I went over to hearth forums and read your posts over there. On here you said you used 3 cords of wood so far over there you said you used 5-6 cords so far. You don't know what your draft if, but you say its good because you have a baro. You didn't mention it here, but on the other forum you said your burning birch which burns must faster and produces less btu than some other hard wood. If you seriously think there is a problem with the furnace than there is a problem with you. Everything you posted comes down to a problem with the operator, not the furnace.
One other thing I'd like to add. I looked at your pictures on the other forum with your damper shut and your fire is burning too hard so I bet your draft is way too high. The fire will burn through wood, but all your heat is being lost up the chimney. Set the baro so it opens up more to keep the heat back in the firebox. Here is a picture of mine and you can see the fire is just barely burning.bedrock1

I guess I wrote the cords wrong but o have burn 5/6 cord. I will get the new up date that location of the thermodisc and get a manometer
back that screw on the baro all the way out and turn it in about 1/4 turn. Try it once and let me know if it helps. If you get smoke coming back in just turn it another 1/4 until the smoke stops.

Hey you woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!
Are you posting from a phone? A lot of typos sometimes, makes it hard to follow, just sayin. Anyways, sound like you are on the right track toward having to open the house windows to let some of that Tundra heat out...

Are you guys doing the talk to text or actually typing it into the phone. I find it very difficult to read/scroll/reply to AS on the phone. So much so I almost never do it.

Texting
I'm just typing. Actually it used to be really horrible on here using a phone, but they must of did some updates because it's much better now.
