I might have mis-spoke a bit. Undersized pipe would be diameter, yes - but it not likely would affect wood usage a whole lot. More so not enough...
Yes there's quite a few different basic principles between an IWB for one house and an OWB for multiple buildings. A lot comes down to your...
Varmebaronen 40UB. It's the only natural draft gasification boiler in the world, as far as I have seen. And simplest - no draft fans or controls...
That's true - but it also usually requires a change in thinking & operation. You burn wide open until all the storage is fully charged, then the...
I think the Heatmaster G series has a good rep. If I was shopping for an OWB, and even if I found 'non-EPA' ones I could buy, I wouldn't. EPA...
It's awesome. :)
Interesting. Maybe they got talking dampers with your insurance guy, lol.
That sounds promising. I would run with it. I would still try to contact the company and ask them what they recommend to do if your chimney has...
Bring the stove to them? How do they expect to properly diagnose an issue if they can't diagnose it in place and burning on the chimney it is to...
Draft is generated by the chimney. That's the engine that drives the stove. The stove is designed to operate with a certain amount of chimney...
That could have been for a kit which might have included more than just a fan. Some stove blower kits can be like that - but not knowing the...
Seems like you don't want to post what the stove is - but that could be key info. I also think it sounds like you could have too much draft, and...
That is a very extreme environment. Like, 2000°f sand blasting. Some guys come up with their own nozzle protection or shielding ideas using...
That sounds like an iffy combo.
I have no idea what you said there - but re. the thread title, not me.
It might come down to the brand but magnetic ones can be wonky. If you have one that is consistent, and can coincide what it's telling you with...
No experience but have read a lot about them. From that, they are built like a tank & make lots of heat. They benefit greatly from storage. If...
I would just get a manometer of my own. A Dwyer is cheap. Then you will always be able to check draft. And for the furnace guys, you can also use...
I would say you should get yourself a Dwyer.
Prefabs are designed to be installed with zero or next to zero clearances. Mine has wood trim right up against it on the front. They have air...
