AWWW, c'mon......give the original installer a freakin break....the EVL is ONLY 47! That's not so bad, right? :gulp:

And I was worried when I installed mine, didn't sleep for weeks I would wake up go down stairs and feel the wall and pipe.

:lol:

All you need to do is attach a super sucker to the vent outside and turn it on to assist the poor overworked combustion blower :zip: .

Obviously both the stove installer and foam applicator are candidates for having any licenses or certs pulled :bug: .


ETA:
Over the years I've discovered that building inspectors not only make a lot of mistakes, but are not always aware of installations (my bet is this is one such case).

Obviously that EVL is a performance problem. But from a safety perspective I can't tell what kind of pipe that is but if it's Duravent Pelletvent you should have 3" clearance to that wood. If its other brand you still need 1" clearance. Either way that looks way to close.

crack is bad, this is a perfect example. funny how all those words in the installation section of the manual get all jumbly and fuzzy. I see a few of these things every year and it is difficult for me to hold back the laughter in front of the home owners. "Well, I can make it right, or I can walk away, what do you think?" "What do you mean, I sealed all the joints with wood glue, and maintained my 'wood touching the pipe' clearances. By my calculations, with every 90 counting as -8', I'm good". These are the same people who used to buy diesel instead of unleaded when it was $.03 cheaper.

BTW, I was stuck behind one of those diesel in the unleaded car people the other day. My son commented how his car didn't really look to be running very well, and it smelled funny.

Simpson Pellet Pro only needs 3" clearance in Canada, not in USA. Only 1" in USA.

just shaking my head on this one. I just dont have any words.

yes but the building inspector flagged my deck because i only had two screws in each string on my deck stairs.
