Do any of you Montpelier owners out there have the outside air kit installed?

Just wondering if it makes a big difference.

Also wondering how it hooks up to the stove. I know there's a little rectangular knock out plate in the body. But what is behind that? Anything that you hook the air pipe to?

What if a guy just knocked out the little plate, opened the ash door for the cleanout in the masonry fireplace, made a flush-fit surround and sealed it with RTV silicon?
