Mine does have atmospheric draft control.   Part of the pipe extension
coming out of the back of the stove.   BTW, you are right Farmer, it is a
4-man stove (-;  It does have a fan tied to the "Seigler synchronizing
control" that is part of the "Seiglermatic" control.  I just love them old
marketing names for simple switches (-;  The unit has an interface for an
external thermostat but appears to be a simple "on-off" type deal where the
unit turns on using whatever manual setting you have it set to and then
turns off(or turns to pilot light).  Even then, I guess it would have use
whatever fan setting you put it on.  I don't use a thermostat and haven't
tried it.

Like any oil furnace/stove it does seem to build up soot but I run the
stove hot and never use the pilot light setting so soot buildup is not what
it might be.   I can tell you that cleaning the unit after I bought it was
a challenge.   I don't think soot had been cleaned out since new.  There
were shapes and sizes of soot stalagmites and stalactites that were
fantastical.  Truly amazing.
