What does OAK stand for?
Why do some dealers say they are not necessary and never install them? What does it say about them as a dealer? We are in the shopping stage.
If you are having the dealer install your stove have him put an OAK in regardless of what he says . If he says that he never puts them in tell him that he will not be able to say that after your stove. If you are going through the wall with your exhaust use the thimble that has the oak built in so you only make one hole through your wall. What type of stoves are you looking for? and most important thing about buying a stove is the dealers service dept incase you need him that he is qualified and professional. Good luck and post pictures when you have your new stove installed
We are trying to decide fireplace insert or free standing. One dealer told me if we did insert, to do OAK he'd have to drill out back of firebox where another said he would run it up the chimney. I need to post diagram of our house to get some advice for best location.
