hi everyone,im thinking about installing a pe super27 insert.i noticed in there brochure that u can pull off a plate for outside air .installation is in the basement of a raised ranch.is it beneficial to take that plate off the stove and not put a block off plate on the existing flue so i get outside air that way or dont take the plate off the stove?should the insert have cool air around it or be enclosed with its own warm air?is that code to have that block off plate on? my existing flu plate is 5 1/2 inches would crimping the 6 inch liner thru that opening restrict air flow or would you cut the flue plate?sorry or all the questions i would just like to do this right the 1st time.thanks for the great advice in the past and future.
