If the building this unit is being installed in is of tight construction or has negative pressure problems, an outside
source of air is needed. Below is a list of possible indicators that a source of outside combustion air may be
required.
•
The stove does not draw steadily, smoke rollout occurs, wood burns poorly, or back-drafts occur 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 roll-out when opened, or back-drafts occur 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 vapor 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.
