Hi everyone,
Yes I am a new member but an old guess.
I did search about overdraft problems and I have found many related answer (including the Florida Bangalow issue) that could lead me to a solution to my overdraft problem. Her is my setup:
30' Security 2100 chimney of 8" running through the house
Pacific Energy Summit (10 years old) the buffle is not in top shape as the is a little carck on it and it is bent from forcing wood into the firebox while it was hot.
6" flue connector to a 14" strait 6" into a 45 degree angle (6") into a 3' of 6" all single walled, into an adaptor 6" to 8" , then again a 45 degree of 8" into the prefab Security 2100.
Basically I have to close the air inlet to a minimum as otherwise I have an overdraft (700 degrees at the pipe 18" from the stove top, magnetic)
My stove shop recommended me to line the entire 30'with a stainless liner of 6" without an isolation.
I intend to first make sure all possible air leaks are properly sealed (door and pipe joints) also I notice that the Extended Burn Technology box rivets are loose and I intend to seal the box with stove cement or silicone.
Note that this stove worked with no overdraft issue in the previous location as it was connected to a 6" prefab all the way.
I still do not know for sure is the increase pipe diameter from 6"to 8" causes the overdraft situation.
I will appreciate any help or advice from anyone.
Thanks,
Henri.
