This is just a post of information in regard sto the Stove Sentry products if anyone is interested.
I have a St Croix Prescott EXL. Since my stove is a direct Vent installation with no PIPE rise and being that harsh winters and power outages are common where I reside I spent $500.00 and purchased a Stove Sentry SF503A after reading the recommendation at Stovesentry.com as to which unit to purchase for my stove..

Well a month and a half we had a power outage and when the power went off I got smoke back in my home as the Stove Sentry didn't work.
Long story short I sent it back to Sec America ( The manufacturer) for repairs. They sent it back to me saying there was nothing wrong with it. I hooked it back up an ran a power failure test. My stove didn't run..made a lot of noises but that was all...
I called St Croix..this is what IO was told :my stove requires Pure Sine wave , the SF503A outputs Modified Sine wave. My stove doesn't run on Modified Sine wave and even St Croix's literature specifies Pure Sine wave..
I contacted the Manufacturer and relayed this information to them. They never replied....
Oh well it is what it is....
