I accidentally knocked off our oak hose, and just out of curiosity, checked to see how much it sucked, before reinstalling the hose.
I can "barely" feel any suction...should I?
Thanks

the PAH is a direct sealed intake, so it would pull only through the intake pipe itself if the OAK is disconnected. now its not going to yank you against the pipe but it should be strong enough to pull a match flame sideways when placed in close proximity to the opening
No matches (does anyone use them anymore?)....but it will hold a paper towel, to the intake, so I suppose this was just cold weather paranoia...Thank You Very Much !
*edit
So...I should put a hose clamp, on the OAK hose?
yes a hose clamp would be more secure.
as for the match , anything which has a similar flame such as a candle or a cigarette lighter would give the same indication.
BTW how are you liking the PAH? I actually have one burning in my home right now. feel free to hit me up if you come across anything you wish to ask about it. or post in here again and i'd be happy to answer.
Love the PAH....blows lots of good heat, little screws are a PITA to remove, to clean the ash traps - but only adds, "maybe" 2 minutes to cleaning.
The only problem we have (call in to England) - is, we had to put a piece of 1/2" copper pipe, on the door latch arm, to tighten the door seal...not sure what's up with that - we replaced the gasket (5/8"), and woke up to the door handle, pointing straight down.

on the inside where it mates to the door wedge? this can be adjusted if necessary, its mild steel. does the inside part of the door handle angle into the firebox or is it on a hard 90 degree angle?
Huh?
Either our new gasket, is NOT 5/8
no usually the pipe trick on the inner part is enough, there should be about an inch of rod after the bend , a length of steel pipe (copper aint strong enough) turn the handle where the inner is at 12 o clock then you can pull on the pipe and move the rod closer to the door itself so the rod engages the wedge higher thus pulling tighter, now the 5/8th gasket you installed did you get it from us? if not what is the "density' of the gasket, needs to be a high density gasket or it will quickly compress allowing the handle to swing much farther much faster
this is what I was thinking, just wanted to make sure. would be better to check and see if the stove shop has a high density gasket, if they do not just call my shop and get the stock gasket. may take a few days longer but it will be the right stuff.
TYVM, Mike....if I can't find the proper stuff locally, I'll order it from Englander, Thursday
Happy New Year !
Just curious, is this a new stove? I was just wondering why you changed the door gasket out.
ok great, faster if they have it up your way in the stove shop. If not, I have it. just happy to have figured out the mystery.
Thanks for the input on the stove and thanks also for picking us to keep you warm!
keep me in mind should you ever have other questions
