I may be mistaken but after reading posts I just want to gather information about the stove(s)
Does the 30 or any comprable stove have air control for the secondaries? I have read posts where it sounds like secondaries on many stoves have no control and this is a area of potential "run away" fire issues? Many state that they had a ball of foil or other capping device on hand for just such an emergency.
If this is true that there is no(or little) control of the back side air intake has anyone put a valve in their OAK with shut off capabilities? Could even do it without and OAK and just a short pipe and plumbing valve. Is this a common mod? Anyone use this idea? I am just thinking ahead, prior to the install of my new stove as any simple mod would be much simpler if I thought them through prior to having the stove up and running.
I have also read, recently, that many stoves have loose or leaky inakes and some have modified for more control. My chimney set up is a straight shot, through the house and about 16' with most of it being 8" not 6" so I am not super concerned about too much draft as some with really tall 6" chimneys have run into.
Just fishing for information - thanks for any input.
For the record I think this forum should be getting paid a sponsorship fee from Englander - I know with all the positive feedback here their numbers must have improved. You all certainly have my attention.
