I agree. Although, being a small family run business doesn't leave as much time for the forums as I'd like. cwill, Thanks for the review...
I just talked with the homeowner and had him do some simple tests as the wind is currently blowing (though not at the same severity) and he has no...
Excellent points. The bumps at the ridge are the attic vents. If the wind is passing over the peak of the house it could be causing severe...
No topographical issues, this home is located on a prairie of sorts. According to the homeowner, the issue is directly related to the wind...
Post was edited to explain the problem that the wind is causing, thanks for pointing that out. The flue length of 13' does not include the attic,...
I'd appreciate your input on this one. The homeowner has been very patient but I want to get this fixed up for him asap. We installed this about 18...

This is what we have been told by the independent Lab that tests our stoves for EPA standards. 1. The calculation method is standardized. It...
Bill, What brand and model is your stove? Maybe some of the installers here could look up the manual online and share how it reads to them. I...
I just got off the phone with Omni. The short answer given was: No reduction of clearance on a stove with a listed minimum clearance of 10". I was...
I have a call into Omni Test Labratories to ask about clearance reduction. Omni is where all of the Kuma Stoves are tested for safety and...
