OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR
For air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems, your wood stove must have a fresh air intake
installed. You can either purchase a dryer venting kit from your local hardware supply or cut a hole in the
fl ooring protector and home’s fl oor as shown in the illustration at the beginning of this manual.
Outside combustion air may be required if :
1. Your stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-draft s occur whether
or not there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fi red equipment in the house, such as fi replaces or other heating appliances, smell, do not
operate properly, suff er smoke roll-out when opened, or back-draft s occur whether or not there is combustion
present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm (windless) day alleviates any of the above symptoms.

e house is equipped with a well-sealed vapor barrier and tight fi tting windows and/or has any powered
devices that exhaust house air.
5. Th
ere is excessive condensation on windows in the winter.
