I think I have made up my mind to purchase the PE Summit. I a few questions.
1. Can you and does anyone ever install a damper on the 6" exhaust outlet to close off when the stove is not running?
2. I was thinking about using an OAK. I was going to open up my ash dump in the hearth which runs into my basement. From there, was i was going to make a plate to go over the cleanout with a 4" round dryer hose connected to it that is piped to the outside. I have read on here that people experience drafts when the OAK is used on this stove.
3. Since i am not planning on burning 24/7, when the damper control on the front of the stove is closed, how much air still leaks into the firebox and out the chimney. I am really concerned and looking for the best way to assure that there is no draft going up the chimney or in from the OAK when the stove is not in use.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
