what is the best way to reduce flying embers-apart from choosing wood .Some people say the top stove pipe should be perforated to cool the embers down brfore they fly out[they used to shoot the pipe with a 22]others use a screen[which could impede draft.
What is your solution?

The screen won't impede draft as long as you don't allow it to become caked with creosote etc.

Stix is right, go with a metal screen and you should be fine! Fred
