    No, the new owners liked it too, so I gave it to them as a "house warming" gift, along with a bottle of Champagne....sorry bud.

    Originally I hooked up mine to the 5.5" liner I used with my woodstove. I had lot's of issues with the pellet stove the first year, that venting might have been one of them but in any case it wasn't helping. I eventually replaced it with 4" pellet vent, hard to say for sure what difference it made since some other things were changed too, but pretty sure it was for the better. It still isn't ideal but working well enough.

    Here is the P43 venting. 3" PVP into an 8" adapter. Behind the 8" adapter is selkirk supervent 6" double wall flue. This is what our old woodstove was attached to, no modifications needed. The 8" adapter fits very snugly over the outside surround of the supervent connector. This works nicely for us.

    I do have one. :salute:
    Didn't make much a difference in this drafty place though unfortunately.
    Actually being on the windward side of house now the flames fluctuate quite a bit when it's windy out lol. But I'll keep it, I know it's helping a little even if not perceivable.

    The pellet pig confessional is open for business....

    Forgive me pigs, for I have sinned. I don't have an OAK on my 6041 insert.

    But, I only use it once a year or so. I'm actually considering pulling it out and selling it for that reason.

    Well, she is finally in and shes a beaut.I must say that my 13 year old Breckwell is much quieter. I am very happy with how its working so far. I didnt set up the OAK but I noticed that she will not light up if the OAK intake is fully opened. So I am using silver tape to cover it about 85%. It took some trial and error but 15 percent seems to be working very well. Thoughts?
