I'm thoroughly impressed by these XL stoves. Amazing, and I was impressed by how well the damper operation actually works.
One thing I did notice though, my damper assembly does come out of the top of the stove hole super easy. It wasn't like that initially, only after a couple burns. I put down a ring as close as I can get it when attaching the pipe over the damper, and when I situate the pipe sometimes, it will just pull the damper right out when moved. I'm going to try and expand the crimped part myself to make the fit more snug.
It wasn't a problem when I was testing it all out, but if there was ever any wind, I would be more concerned on figuring out a way to make sure it stays seated.
