Just got my drolet deco alto. The original plan was to install as pictured. I would use a piece of tin work attached to the back of the stove that would act as ducting between the factory 5" intake and the 3" pipe that is installed from my old stove. House is on a slab and the PVC runs underground, about 30' and pops up in front of the house.
As the stove sits now, my flue pipe is about 1-1.5" from lining up with the existing flue. That difference could likely be made up in the 6' of pipe to the ceiling and not really be noticeable.
I could potentially move the stove back that 1-1.5" but it would cover the inlet pipe slightly. The under side of the stove has a 1" gap as only the perimeter touches the floor. My question and concern is over how important it is for the fresh air pipe to actually be ducted to the stove.
My third option is to cut concrete and move the pipe back a few inches. Not a great option as I was planning on tiling tomorrow evening.
Any insight is greatly appreciated.
