Ive already gone to the Home Cheapo and bought the stuff.
Well thanks everyone. Yeah, thermal shock. That was a good one. Guess you gotta laugh at yourself sometimes. So now that I know where everyone...
Woodstock came today to pick up my stove. I didn’t really get much of an answer on whether the HRV is sufficient or whether I should install an OAK.
I’m not saying I won’t add one. I’m just saying I’d like to think about all aspects of it before I do it. I don’t want to just add one blindly,...
Well they would if they didn’t want to miss out on the market in situations where they’re required, and it may explain why I’ve read that some...
Food for thought. I was reading some more about introducing outside air directly into the firebox, and some people think cold air directly...
Well thanks everybody. Maybe I’ll post something after Wednesday when Woodstock comes. I know my chimney is good now. Check. I’m pretty sure my...
You mean like running a temporary OAK? I don’t think I can?
I’ve been talking with Tom, the owner of Woodstock. Woodstock is coming to my house on Wednesday. I’ll ask them then. Maybe I’ll get to the 3...
No. That’s fine. I want to listen to other people’s opinions and hopefully learn from them. But, I also need to consider what’s realistic for my...

I guess what I’m saying is, whether or not the moisture meter is completely accurate, if the measurement I get on my seasoned wood is comparable...
Yes. It was taken on a freshly split face.
My moisture meter says it's within 3%, which is good enough for me if it's reading 12-15%. I'm pretty sure I've tested the moisture meter on a...
My wood is between 12-15% moisture content. I believe that is what I'm saying, is that the stove is not burning right, which i suspect is mostly...
Yes, I have lived in Bellingham, WA for a short time, and no, I don't have any porcupines for pets (and I don't have any gaps in my house that...
Okay, I know maybe I’m a PITA, and I’m not saying that I’m not going to end up installing an OAK, but tonight I was looking at Woodstock’s website...
Okay. Thanks.
I’m guessing the total run will be less than 5 feet. But it’s going to have to have some bends in it.
One more question. In the stove manual, it says to use a“4 inch pipe, usually flexible dryer duct” and “for longer runs you can transition to pvc...
