Hey, was wondering if someone could point me in a direction or answer a question for me.
I have a savannah Drolet stove. It is in a room with a high ceiling and goes to a double insulated pipe through the drywall then out of the roof.
My question is how do I insulate the opening better?
The room that the unit is in is always 2 degrees cooler/warmer than the rest of the house. I feel like it's because there is an opening in the ceiling which just lets the outside air come inside. It does have a plate cover on the inside and the high temp insulation between the roof and the drywall. But from what I read, that you should leave a 2-inch gap from the insulation to the pipe? Is that correct? This causes a free flow of air from outside to the inside of the house?
Is this just life with a wood stove or am I missing something?
