For travis FireplaceX owners.
I never truly understood how the FireplaceX uses external air for combustion. From what I can tell, combustion air is designed to come in through the same duct as the "blower" air. I can trace the air path but what I don't get is why wouldn't it just pull air from inside the house. Wouldn't that be the least resistive path for air? If I take a match and hold it in front of the air intake (holes on top of glass) it pulls the flame in from the room.
Also the travis site shows the air is also introduced underneath the unit. I didn't notice evidence of this while burning. I was wondering if anyone else has.
TIA
