Hey Folks. In October 2010, I purchased a new Enviro M55 FS from my local dealer. This replaced a reliable yet “time to retire†1996 Whitfield Advantage II-T. When I went back into the dealer this past week, they told me “You NEED a Chimney Capâ€. They stated, the M-55 has a safety shut off switch that will shut down my stove when exposed to the pressures from Mother Nature’s extremely frigid/windy conditions. I have yet to experience this, is it true?. I’m currently using the original wood stove chimney that was built for my ranch style house in 1972. If in fact I need one, I’m curious of my options. I read somewhere that the Founder/Webmaster of Hearth.com (I’m from Western MA too) is in the business of such products.
Cheers!
