2.5OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR

It is recommended to install 5’’ outside air intake in the room where the stove is located or nearby.

The following are signs that a fresh air kit may be required:

•Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollouts occur, wood burns poorly, or back-draft occurs whether or not there is combustion present.

•Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house, such as fireplaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not operate properly, suffer smoke rollouts when opened, or back-draft occurs whether or not there is combustion present.

•Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

•The house is equipped with a well-sealed vapour barrier and tight fitting windows and/or has any powered devices that exhaust house air.

•There is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.

•A ventilation system is installed in the house.
