Well, all this EPA and WA state crap is crap, if you ask me. I like the idea of running an OAK though. In an ideal world the secondaries would get air from outside as well. However, they are small ports, and seemingly they (Englander) needed warm air to support the secondary combustion in the moronic EPA and WA state crib tests. Likely during cold starts. It has been a while since I visited one of the several EPA stove testing places around here. We have half of the EPA stove test locations in the US within an hour of me for some reason not known to me. I suppose I could run tubing from my OAK to the intake ports in the front of the stove, but I do not notice any drafts in the house as it is. ~Some~ air changeover is good thing in a tight house like mine. Not saying that I prefer this NC warm-air-for-the-secondaries design, but I do not see it as a huge drawback either. The noisy fan is the biggest 'problem' on this thing, and that is nit picking...

Yeah, but my Englander 13NC pulls all its air from the OAK manifold area!!!

Computer tower fans... interesting. I used to work in the largest server farm in the world in the Silicon Valley. The fans and A/C in that place sucked up more electricity than the computers. Next trip down there and I will scrounge up some fans.

Not sure if that is what they were, just looked similar each one is about 5" in diameter. Don't draw a lot of power either.
