....with two stoves. Does anyone that burns two stoves at the same time have any problems with air supply? I have recently added a second stove (pellet this time) on the upper level of a bungalow for the extra cold months. The house is well insulated, and fairly air-tight. Will I see any problems with combustion air running two stoves at the same time? For the wood stove on the lower level, an OAK is not practical, and I've never had any issues anyway. For the pellets stove, an OAK is also not practical due to the fact that it is against an inside wall, vented through the ceiling. Does anyone forsee any combustion air supply problems for me this winter? Thanks.
 
Well, you never know til you try it first. Doesn't a pellet stove require an outside air source? Maybe not in Canada? I know pellet stoves have powered exhaust so they use much more air than a wood stove. If it were me I think I'd try to rig an OAK for at least the pellet stove.
