Trying to remember how to adjust one, it has been years since I had an
oil
burner. The object is to prevent the draft or suction that the wind
creates
on the chimney from sucking on the furnace and affecting its burning
performance, but to still pull all products of combustion up the
chimney.
Until someone who knows better, this is the best I have.

.........and you're an idiot!
You need instruments and knowledge to adjust it properly.
Something you obviously have neither of.

Bubba, you may have extensive knowledge about these matters, and these
days
possibly everything is done with instruments, but I have never seen an
instrument used to set a simple oil burner damper during the years that I
was using oil burners from the 1950s through the 1970s.

I hope your knowledge of oil burners is better than your social skills,
which seem to be lacking.


Well, as with everything else........there is a right way and a wrong
way to do it. You have obviously been doing it the wrong way. I get
paid to do it the right way. Customers appreciate that they arent
wasting hundreds of gallons of oil per season because someone came in
and "eyeballed" the adjustments on their system.

Much better answer and hopefully to the benefit of the OP.
