Trains, possibly a brick layer to let the fire burn hot/clean against the brick, maybe the heat transfer works out the same at 100 degrees at the steel face (?)

Another nugget for a particular average stove, gives nominal draft values: 3.4 DRAFT Your EPA certified Flame stove’s performance will be optimised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up...

Here's a nugget I found for a township in Ontario: If your house was constructed between 1990-1993, you must; • Install a fresh air intake of an appropriate size to prevent excessive depressurization. If your house was constructed after 1993, you must; Preform a pressure test on your house...

So I did some more homework and came up with CSA B365 Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment Of course they want their money. Any chance you could excerpt the section about CAI? I think in Alberta they said to CSA B365 or to mfr install instructions, perhaps a...

So the Hearth guy maybe is Stateside and perhaps Stateside un-required the cold air intakes, from my understanding of what he wrote. I'm still curious about the Canadian code change date because 4 or 5 years ago my last install passed WETT inspection and I figure he would have known about the...

Thanks Squisher. I did a bunch of reading homework. The Hearth.com guy argues that fresh air intakes have faults and got nixed. Wind effects on the house structure/shape. Seems like cogent reasoning he presents. Apparently you can't buy draft rite meters anymore and they're not intended for...

Read this a good 10 years ago and it's come back to haunt me. Dang knowledge! Good explanation related to pressures and vacuums. https://www.woodheat.org/all-about-chimneys.html Kyle if you're doing a clean slate install read all the chimney pages above. Good stuff. Wind effects etc.

Pigwot, when I got my first (for me) liner the guy mentioned the ovalising approach and alluded to concerns about munging the crimp seam. This was apparently the impetus for the tad under O.D.ed liner product. I would wonder a bit about the effect of oval on fitted or rotary cleaning brushes...

Hotter fire on a colder day cause my feed air (draft) is stronger, or stronger draft makes it end up a hotter fire. Kind of chicken and egg. Could see it either way. No cleanout, just a liner to the top. I tried to rationalize it as gas temperature difference, like the hotter the air in a...

And a stove techie question. Is there any data about draft as it depends on chimney length, outside temperature, flue temperature? I seem to notice way better draft on colder days. Also, is there an instrument like a small manometer to see how much vacuum you're creating via the updraft? I...

Squisher, when was the date for "new" regarding needing the fresh air intake in Canada?
