I posted this on aonther thread but this is worth a thread of it's own.
This is one part of wood burning that I’ve never really understood. When & why do I really need one? My house a ranch with a walk out basement. Upstairs my non-cat hearth stone works well. It has never back smoked even in low draft conditions. My new wood furnace in the basement. 1st. burn had a bit of a back smoking issue even though it was a low draft condition. I’ve read on various post about the benefits of an outside air kit, also on other stoves they recommend one also they also asked for a barometric on my stove. I understand those, even though I didn’t in install one. “I couldn’t fine one to fit to my double wall pipe.” Any in sights on the OAK would be welcome and sourcing of a double wall barometric would be welcomed.
