I don't think I can get one that goes up my outside masonry chimney with my old blaze king insert. My question is, does it have to have it's air intake on the back of the stove? Do stoves that are capable have two air intakes, one in the front for not using oak, and one in the back if using oak, so then you seal one up depending on application? I don't see how only having an air inlet in the back of a sealed insert would work if not using oak. Sorry if this sounds dumb. I would really like to get an oak going if possible, but my only air inlet is on the front under the door. Thanks.
My house is really drafty next to the garage door. When I have a huge fire blazing (old school not efficient at all) it's sucking all kinds of air, and one side of the room is cold(incoming air) and the other is hot as can be. If your in the middle sitting on the couch, one side of you feels the chill, and the other one is melting. lol. Just don't have the money for a new efficient one at the time.
oops, wont let me edit my goof in title. inserts.
