When installing the Quadrafire 7100 with a sl300 chimney pipe, you use part CA4K** (I can never remember all the numbers). Now, the manual is fuzzy about an air intake for this part. If I understand this correctly, the fresh air intake would not be run from the lower right hand portion of the unit. Instead, would it be run only through this part. Is this correct?

The air cooled chimney and the combustion air are NOT connected. They must each have their own lines to a fresh air source.

When you are all finished you will have 3 air intakes. One for the air cooled chimney, sl-300.
One for the OAK, which is on the lower right side, and the last one is also on the lower right side, which is for the make-up combustion air. Which if I understand you don't really need the make-up air. I leave mine shut off anyway.
The sl-300 air is the smallest one, which does hooked into that ca4k or something part #.

Okay, I was missing the bit of information about the SL300 being air cooled. I just figured that it was double-wall insulated. Okay, so I will have the sl300 intake, the OAK, and the Auxillary Air intake. Now one of the replies mentioned the auxillary air intake as a different name, which confused me for a bit. But now I'm good. Thanks for all the help.

Make sure in Northern MI you DONT hook the AUX air up to the outside. You will have major cold air problems. The CAK and the outside air MUST be ducted to the outside.
