I just read Gasifier's thread on the effects of using cold wood and it got me thinking about my (sometimes) very cold outside air supply for combustion. I know in race engines that cold air is more dense and actually makes a slight (posative, faster)difference at a race track where a thousand of a second makes a difference. My thinking on the outside air supply goes in line with the newer high efficency gas and oil burners, and even fireplaces that do just that. I know that part of the thinking is that youre not using up your (warm) conditioned air that some where along the line is being replaced by (cold) outside air being drawn in some where else in your house.
I'm running a Wood Gun that uses a giant fan that sucks a lot of air and my home is very well air sealed and insulated FWIW.
