DemonGT said:what would cause a smoke smell to come out of the room air fan?
i was able to get this smell to go away by turning down the combustion fan?
DirtyDave said:I question the heat exchanger rake.... they cant really seal around the rod, venting leak also x2
DemonGT said:now that i think about it, i remember my father in law pulling that small silver piece of the exhaust off the back of the stove and looking at it and then
sliding it back on... obviously not sealed on with RTV.
DemonGT said:what i dont understand is why would not having that small adapter piece on the back of the stove sealed with RTV make it leak but
that adapter piece just slides onto the wall thimble piece and isnt sealed with anything?
DemonGT said:how do you seal it when its behind a insert? once you push the stove back you can not get to the exhaust at all. and if you were to seal it all up then how would you pull the insert out
the next season for cleaning?
I use it on all my exhaust vent joints that have to come apart. When I did my install, some of them were leaking. They don't leak anymore.DemonGT said:anyone else use high temp tape? that seems like something that is do able. who sells high temp tape?

DirtyDave said:good high quality foil tape like that sticks very well and is a pain to get off. leaves heavy sticky residue when removed. that is why they use it when installing new furnaces in garages and other confined spaces.... 1 it seals. 2 it shows if tampered with. 3 the county inspector loves it.
DemonGT said:Dexter, is the tape you use the 3m flue tape?
