    If the air flow was ever reversed? It would be bad.. When an OAK is connected and no fire has been started in awhile? The chimney can have air come down it, and out the OAK.. It's a rare occurrence. But it can happen..

    Always use a non combustible material.

    As for the detergent? We have 2 kids, a dog, and 3 cats.. We always are washing something :D

    I would never make it. She is the laundry queen here.. Ask Mrs. Dex, she'd probably tell you the same :)

    Really? For that cost? Maybe the whole forum would benefit from this recipe?

    I made my own kids, does that count? And it really was pretty easy too; two adult children and there ain't a stretch mark on me.....

    That there is what is known as a tease!

    I checked out making your own detergent and the cost savings did not warrant the effort. There was minimal to no cast savings....but then, I don't use the higher end detergent either.

    My Harman Invincible manual states to use 2" PVC for the OAK.

    First I've ever heard of this in a manual. Most always state a non combustible.

    Does the Invincible have the "intake flapper" like all the new Harmans?
