I read that the top damper thing being good at slowing the release of the warmth, keeping more in the stove? Sounds like it could be useful rather than removing it? I’ll have approx 2.5metres of flue (allowing 60cm outside) so could that be ok as a 5 or 6” flue? I’ll bung up the hole, replace the bricks and rope. Would a stove shop have a standard replacement air flow spinner or would I have to try the company who make the similar boatman?

Thanks for the replies, photos now attached. It will need a rub down and spray, missing the side fire bricks but like has been said I might buy a big sheet and cut it down. Door rope is a little flat so it’s not a airtight seal when the door is shut. There’s no ash tray but that’s not the end of the world. As you can see it’s missing the circular screw on bit at the front and you can see the little hole in the back, doesnt look like a DIY drill hole. Strangely loose inside was the screw shown which fits but then the thread would be sticking in or sticking out? Any ideas.

Hi, I don’t have a boat/barge but I do have a man cave for which I’ve bought a second hand carabo stove. Photos to follow later. I have questions...I’ve searched this site but not really found answers. I see it’s similar to the boatman stove. It’s missing fire bricks an the circular screw on air regulator thing on the front. Does anyone have an idea where I can get that? There’s also a small 5mm circular hole in the rear, is that just for general air flow? Finally its a 4” it would it be ok to go to a 5/6” flue as A friend might have some for me. I appreciate any help. Thanks, Olly
