They is no better way than to learn from experienced people. I have a St, Croix for 5 winters now and enjoy it very much. My question is when the power goes off the fan shuts off and smoke enters the room from that little draft pipe back on the back of the furnace. It was professionally installed by the store where i bought it. Only 1 thread that I read had that pipe vented outside.
What does everyone think about this? How do you eliminate the smoke from coming into the house when the power goes off? If a battery backup is necessary, what kind does everyone have?
So far, I had to replace the combustion fan this winter, other than that it has been good. I have my draft open the whole way. My store says I only need to open it a little bit. But when I did that it would burn lazy and black. I figured it needed more air so I opened it the whole way and it seems to burn better that way. Thanks for all your inputs this site is very helpful. I have learned a lot from everybody. Thanks
