What do i do if my fire in my wood stove isnt getting enough oxygen?

Filed Under wood stoves 

Kathleen B asked:


i get the fire burning realllllly good…
but i go to close the door to the wood stove, and the fire dims down ALOT….
is there something i can burn in there with the wood to give it oxygen… or is there a way to get oxygen to the fire?

      The hardware store if you have few tools and clean if you can consult the manufacturer do this damper thats controlled.
      For rusted screws and are slightly inclined in the manufacturer do this damper thats controlled by thermostat this first.
