As all 30 owners know, there are 3 sources of air for the stove (well, 4 actually). The OAK is hooked up to one of them, the airwash. My stove is on the pedestal, and I was thinking that it could easily be tweaked to where all of the air comes through the OAK. It is would require a back cover to be fabricated behind the pedestal, and the OAK could dump into it like a plenum rather than directly into the normal inlet. Any thoughts?
On my 13NC, all the air that feeds the stove (primary, secondary, tertiary/dog house) enters via the OAK manifold on the bottom rear of the stove. It (the manifold) isn't 100% sealed from the factory though; so I sealed mine up with some high temperature silicone. That worked out great. Don't know why they don't make the 30 the same way.
You could just abandon the doghouse by plugging it or removing it, and connect primary and secondary pretty easily since they’re right there together.
I'll have to check into this. I have yet to install mine but that will be happening before next season. I've been crippled up. Just recently back to walking again. In fact a buddy just helped me get the stove into the area where it will live a couple of weeks ago. Until then it has sat in my garage in the corner covered up where it landed when I went to pick it up. Sad but true...... How ya been Highbeam? Hope all is well out there on the left side of the US.
