I have mentioned on another forum that I was told by US Stove that I did not need to have a FAK because of our home's open floor plan. Well that opened a can of worms for the members. The resulting debate began and ended with a 50/50 for and against using a FAK.
Some said that you are wasting your pellets heating the cold air from outside and the opposing side was that I was currently sucking in the warm air inside the house that I used pellets to heat and am blowing it outside into the cold.
Then I had some people say that if you use a FAK, about a 1/3 of problems are solved with your stove if you have a FAK.
I'm tempted to get a FAK and install it. So I called US Stove and talked to them.
US Stove said if I decide to get a FAK, they recommend a 69FAK for our model 6039. I have looked / searched, etc. for the Wind Hood Termination on the web using Google, individual store sites, etc. I can NOT find any!
I can not find a 2" 90 degree elbow either!
So is a person suppose to make their own termination applications?
Why the heck doesn't either/or come in the FAK??
Any input?
