Would y'all with OAK's mind posting some pix of how you terminated it outside your house please?? Or just describe it?? I've definitely come to the conclusion that when it's this cold here for any length of time; that I cannot be pulling air to feed my stove from the crawl space. It causes the bitter cold "outside" air to be pulled into my crawl space via the crawl space vent and makes the space, and thus my floors very cold. That in turn gets transferred into the living space, and my stove just cannot keep up then. Thanks.
I just used a dryer vent termination, but pulled out the flapper. Hooked up a stainless flex hose inside to the stove. Done. Cheap and very functional. Once done burning for the year, I stuff insulation in from the outside so the critters stay out.
You would think a company would have come up with a good one by now. Maybe even a screen in it or a plug that goes into the end once the burning season is over.
Yeah I thought about that once I posted it. You could have separate heads on it for the burning season and the rest of the year. You could put the burning season head in the stove to remind yourself to swap them out.
This being galvanized, it can be painted to compliment the color of your house. I would also consider using insulated flexible pipe for the crawl space if you don't heat the crawl space. I would think your crawl space has heat in it though, in order to avoid freeze ups?
That looks like a standard OAK end fitting Dave. At least it looks like the one that I got with my OAK. I did add some insulated dryer vent to extend mine to reach though. The bit that came with the OAK was way too short.
