Hey guys, I've been reading the posts here for a couple of months and decided to go with a pellet stove in my new addition. I installed a Vistaflame VF-100 free standing. I have owned wood stoves for most of my life and know little to nothing about pellet stoves except what I've been reading here.
My issue:
During the initial set up of the stove I pulled out an insert that talks about setting the slider damper limits with 2 collars using a Magnahelic gauge. Now I consider myself a fairly intelligent guy but I've never even heard of a Magnahelic gauge. The instructions say to set the slider at 0.12"W.C. for the firebox vacuum. I looked up what the gauge is and purchased one but I have no idea where to take the measurement from. The Stove Shop I bought it at hasn't called me back in two days and I'm at a loss as to what to do. I don't want to start the stove without being able to set the damper correctly.
Any information would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
