We are giving consideration to converting our wood burning EC42 to a vent free setup. The manual(2004) makes reference to nothing have been verified for this particular model. I know this is an older unit - anyone have experience in converting this one over?
Is there such an option as a lower output vent free that mimics the btu output of a vented wood burning firebox?

Thanks

Don't do a room vented setup. Vent it properly
