OUTSIDE 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.
