QUESTION ABOUT AN OAK

[leoibb]

i cant see how were you put the oak really matters assuming you can stop the wind funneling through?

 

[TradEddie]

Would locating the OAK on the leeward side of the house be a good idea? Would putting it under a porch be a better idea? I have a choice of one or the other.

Under the porch is likely better, leeward sides are typically lower pressure, so you'd have a little more opposition to draft. Probably insignificant when running, but might unnecessarily draw air when not running, or make it hard to start. Windward side might help draft, but also draw air when not running. Chances are you'd have no problems with any position, but best to minimize the odds.

Also any of you Progress Hybrid guys know where the OAK connection to the stove is? Jut trying to get all my ducks in order before I cut the hole in my floor.

Back of the stove, in the middle of the stove (both horizontally and vertically) and facing down.
