Welcome to the former site of Chimneysweeponline! Tom Oyen retired December 31st, 2019 after 45 years in the industry!!!!! He impacted thousands of customers and hearth.com members. Hearth.com has acquired Tom’s website and his in depth FAQs and material. We are lucky to have this small part of Tom’s stove knowledge preserved here. We will modify the site info as many of the links and items are not applicable anymore.

Hello, I am a newbie . I recently purchased a Harman P43 pellet stove from a Harman dealer (whom I would not ever recommend). I have a few questions hoping someone can answer.
My outside air intake hose is just shoved into the back of my pellet stove, I can move it...it that ok? Or will that draw more cold in air in as I noticed the stove is running a lot. The outside vent and intake are also on the same thimble plate does that make a difference?
Thank you all for your advise, it is very much appreciated!!
