Will be using a Quadra-Fire 3100 or Cumberland Gap. Will a blower do anything that a ceiling fan is not already doing? Do either of these stoves use an outside air kit? And if so, how much does it help?
As it is a new construction I would think about including an OAK right away if you can bear the cost. It will certainly be easier than doing it afterwards. And as Jags said, there is really no downside to having one. In fact, instead of sending heated room air up the chimney you will use cold air from outside. It may not add that much in terms of energy savings but in a time when people put R-60 in their attic and chase the tiniest air leak why neglect the obvious?
Agreed. It will not hurt anything at all, it will only improve performance. Do it now while it is still under construction, it will be alot easier now.
