After taking a lot of time to ensure the pedestal base had little to no air leakage at the bottom, I noticed quite the variety of air holes around the pedestal side! There is even a knockout on the front, I do not know why, but the stamped slits add to the other holes/slits to make a definite air connection between the outside and the inside. I plan on sealing as much as possible.
For this reason, I wish I bought the Summit Classic. The Classic also has the looks, but it seemd like the top of it would not heat water well. We get power outages that make a cooking surface valuable. The cast iron version has heating surfaces, but it didn't look like there was a good high-heat section.
Anyone else deal with the air leakage?
Thanks,
Bill
