heat seeker said:It just might help the circulation, but you'll still be burning inside air and drawing colder outside air into the building. I think the OAK should go to the outside, and fans used for circulation if needed.....
heat seeker said:You could still get smoke in the house that way. You will also still be using inside air for combustion, drawing cold outside air into the building. IMO, an OAK to the outside is the only way to go.
BrotherBart said:Combustion is better with the colder air. I don't claim to be an engineer but before the fancy devices we put ice cubes on top of the carbs before a drag race and definitely saw a difference. Not in heat output, in being slammed back against the seat. :lol:
No I am not going to put ice cubes in my OAK. :lol:
BrotherBart said:And nobody can convince me that there isn't some chance of or some CO from the intake during shutdown or power failures from these pellet puppies. Cumberland stoves used to just come out and say it but I guess their competitions lawyers had a talk with them because they took it out of the ads last year.
Edit: And I am willing to bet that ESW doesn't make an OAK mandatory just because their "might" be negative pressure in a house.
Spent three hours today routing that blasted OAK for the 25-PCVC in the basement.

Read MY sentence. The whole sentence.
