Hi all, I have an 80s VC resolute and it seems to be burning wood fast - like really fast. The damper is broken and I’ve replaced that with a pipe damper until
Next year when I replace it, does anyone have any ideas on how to get a longer burn? Or am I resigned to it simply being inefficient due to age. I never close the pipe damper all the way, only about a 1/4 shut.

Appreciate recommendations
