Humm.  I remember that, Farmer, but I didn't think it had to be so close
to the fire box.  Ours was mounted about a foot or so away from the
chimney but was a good four feet from where the stove pipe came out of
the furnace.  Ours had a furnace chain rigged to it so that it was held
closed whenever the fire box door was open.  On windy days, that damper
would oscillate back and forth as the chimney "whistled".  It was YEARS
later before I understood why it was doing that.

         It occurred to me that while most of us old geezers would
remember 
draft controls or regulators that most of the younger guys may not. If
you 
go to Google and enter "draft regulators" (including the quotes) and
then 
click the "Images" link it will show you several good pictures of one.

Also a newly created one called "100 Acre Farming" targeting folks who 
operate farms from about 75 acres to 150 acres. Those are not iron clad 
numbers. Midwestern farms in this class require a full line of farm 
equipment unlike much smaller farms but have only a little in common
with 
the much larger farms common today.
