Any QuadraFire owners out there with an OAK. My dealer seemed sorta cynical about it mentioning something about pests getting access but I have a HUGE problem with cold air getting sucked up from the basement. When that stove runs that floor gets cold! Part of that is obviosuly due a furnace no longer heating a basement but I can feel the air whirring up from downstairs. Efforts to ask the wife to close the basement door have failed so I have to family-proof this thing.
I have an OAK on mine. I did a pretty good job sealing all holes, and cracks in my system.
Even if you don't, the air will take the path of least resistance. It would rather come in that 3" vent that's a few inches away from the intake source, than come in through your bedroom window 35' away. IMO.
OAK's always help....
