2 barometric dampers

hello hello I had a new oil furnace installed. Installer left the 2 existing dampers they are about 16" apart with a 90 elbow between . I feel the two dampers are pulling fumes from each other. Do I need 2? I have about 6 feet of 6" pipe with 2 dampers into a  4" power vent for 4 feet of 4 " then outside.  Why would I need 2 barometric dampers?    Thank you

    I’m guessing your overfire draft is way too high.
    You’re better off with a neutral pressure point adjuster.
