Does anyone have the Alderlea T6 with the blower AND the OAK installed at the same time? Can you share your experience as to how this is done? I recently had the T6 installed but Im being told now (after the fact) that this specific model has a conflict between the OAK kit and the blower - you can have one or the other installed but not both. Apparently the T5 does not have this issue. Wish I knew this prior to purchasing the T6 model

If that's true it should be specified in your manual?
 
The blower might block a rear entrance of the outside air, I'll have to check. Regardless, I thought the OAK connection could also be done straight-up, underneath the stove just behind the ash pan.

... I just checked and it looks like an elbow could be attached so that the fresh air hose slipped under the blower. There's 4.25" under the blower so a 4" hose should squeeze under there.
