Hey guys and gals, I have always wondered how an OAK would work out for me. With my XXV I definitely will get cool
air moving towards the stove and down the stairs that I can feel. The house is a bi level built in 1982, so not the tightest
house out there. I go thru what most of you average per pellet usage a day. I have heated the house non stop with the pellet stove since December and only use the electric heat to bring the upstairs a few degrees warmer in the morning for about an hour and the pellet stove will keep downstairs @ 75* and upstairs 68-70.....so it works very well. December was a very cold month and I only
went thru 35 bags, January's looking to be about the same.
I have my stove going into a chimney that originally had a propane stove hooked up. I have a propane line coming into the house
next to the brick and can put a hole there. My question is can I run a temporary line to my dryer exhaust to pull air in from there just to try it out. The dryer is in the room off from the Family room and would require about a 30-40' run.....will this work and will it
even be worth it? It has always been on the back of my mind how efficient or not the OAK would be....Thanks....
