I just finished installing my OAK on my CB 1200 today and tried it out. I'm not quite sure how effective it really is because I can feel drafts all around the bottom of the base. I was wonder if I sealed around the base would that improve or hamper the stove. And if so what would work to seal it but not permanently (yearly cleaning). I also let it run for a while and couldn't get a decent flame and I adjusted the feed rate and still no improvement. This is the first time I've had problems trying to get the manuals 4-6 inch flame at high setting. The only thing I tampered with during the cleaning was my burn pot and the gasket had a little tear. The guy at my stove shop told me I could use a high temp copper silicone and it would work fine for replacing the gasket. He said he used it on his stove. So does anyone have any idea on the OAK and my lack of flame hight?
