The tech manual says the OAK is 3" and exhaust is 4". What is the diameter of the OAK inlet on yours?
It's 3 also". I think my stove has exhaust diameter envy. Apparently not all stoves are created equal.
On the other hand I get to use my existing 3" pipe. The inlet is even the same height as my old stove. I better buy a Powerball ticket today.

I reckon I'll run it with no outside air until I can figure out what's going on with this. I hate doing that in this drafty house with 0* Fahrenheit coming tomorrow but I have to get some heat going.
The manual doesn't say anything about a hearth pad. Is that right that this doesn't need one? Weird.

Your Omega is a cousin to my Maxx. The Maxx used to be 3" exhaust/2" intake but changed to 4"/3" around 2012 if I had to guess. The port in your picture has a flapper in it, with the stove unplugged/not running you should be able to wiggle it with a screwdriver. I had to remove the flapper to get any noticeable draft to come through my cold air pipe, and even then it's clearly not feeding from that exclusively.
Hope that helps,
