I would be interested in seeing the results.
It may work yes but I doubt it. Reducing volume at the top usually resricts draft considerably. Installing a properly sized and insulated liner...
I absolutely hate that. As someone who cleans lots of chimneys I can tell you almost every chimney for a wood burning appliance that has a baro...
A reducer at the top. Usually down to 5" sometimes 5.5 is enough. I like to avoid that though
It doesn't matter when I install it. In almost all cases once you get over 25' you will have to much draft
I am assuming you mean -6. If so that is about -.024" of water column. Max recommended by most manufacturers is only -.07. I would be very...
If the chimney is over 25' I always install a damper. And if they still have trouble controlling it I come back and test draft. If it is still...
Yeah not all require baro dampers but if you talk to them most will recommend them. But if you also burn wood you really don't want one then....
To much draft with a coal stove can be extremely dangerous. That is why barometric dampers should be used with coal.
To much draft can cause serious problems as well. The problems are very different but can be just as dangerous.
Yes in this case we are talking about a stove that may have to much draft though.
The only draft specifications available are for a stove that is up to operating temperature and has the air wide open so hen we are testing a...
I posted a question about this on several chimney pro boards and so far I have had roughly 25 responses saying they have never heard of such a...
Can he tell us what this magic app is? To be clear I can generally tell if a chimney will draft well or not without testing. But what I can't...
Well first off I did not call you a liar at all. I completely believe your bil did this test. All I said was that this is not a valid way to...
Exactly. The only way you could get close would be to replicate the 1200 of so degree temperature differential and it couldn't be done by blowing...
Ok I believe your bil did this test. But can you explain to me how blowing hot air that isn't hot enough to melt the plastic could in any way...
Blowing hot air into a stove will not give you any idea what the natural draft is.
Testing in the summer won't tell you a thing to test properly the stove needs to be up to temp and burning with the air fully open. Any other...
A gauge placed in a small hole drilled in the pipe
