Hello everyone, I'm so happy I found this forum.
I received a used ef3 freestanding pellet stove from my boss a couple of weeks ago. I had it "serviced" before bringing it home to figure out where to install it. Yesterday, my father came over to help me install the stove, running a horizontal installation straight out the back, easy enough, just didn't want to put a whole in a perfectly good wall lol.
Anywho, we loaded the stove with pellets and got it going, happy that it worked and appeared to run well, I took my dad out to dinner where we were placing bets on what the temperature the house would be at when we returned home. (the house is a little over 1000 sqft., gone for an hour and a half, outside temperature in the low 20's, it was 65 degrees inside when we left) We get home and the temperature in the house had only gone up to 67.
Now, I put serviced in quotes because I assumed they would have cleaned the stove when it was serviced but I think it needs to be cleaned, which I'll do when I get home tonight.
What I need suggestions on is the OAK. I went to a different dealers to get the vent piping I needed but he said all stove manufactures run different configurations for the air kits and that we was sure he didn't have anything that would work for my stove. The pipe coming off the back is an inch and a half across and I can't seem to find anything online that might fit, any suggestions?
Thank you.
