Hello,
Have something of an odd question. First, the issue I'm trying to resolve.
My exhaust pipe is close to the max for my insert.
The specs state: Maximum venting height is 33'
I'm 25-27'. Because of this I can't run the unit at its full power. I can only run it on medium/level 4, and not high/levels 5/6.
I've looked into adding an extra power exhaust fan midway through the venting system(found an inline unit rated for pellet/wood stoves) the wiring becomes kind of messy since you need to run a cord back down inside the chimney. Not very safe or practical in my opinion.
Is anyone aware of an aftermarket exhaust blower upgrade that can be installed to remedy this?
Alternately I would be open to trading/selling the unit and getting one that's rated for the vent length to operate on high.
This crucial bit of information never occurred to me when doing my research/buying. The dealer also never mentioned it being an issue when I gave them my measurements...
The last option would be a freestanding stove, but it's nice to make use of the fireplace as a usable space w/ the insert.
W/ the recent extreme cold, my stove has been cranking but the oil comes on since it's not enough.
My target temperature is 63 degrees, which is warm for us(yes, we're freaks...)
Thanks.
