I now have what I was told was the OAK adaptor for the TL200. However
It does not close the area of intake as well as I anticipated. There is at least 1/4" gap above plate and body of stove. Just does not look like it will isolate intake to outside air. I expected a plate closing area to closest tolerances possible without weld or gasket. Am I wrong or just kz
 
It depends on the stove. Some OAKs seal directly to the stove and others just route fresh air in the pedestal base or in the general vicinity of the intake.
 
[qwilquote="DAKSY, post: 1635541, member: 8615"]Can you post a pic of the adapter? You should have a good seal on the OAK, otherwise it's kinda pointless...[/quote]
I will attempt that pic post in near future

I am convinced this is not the correct adaptor. Looks like flanges should wrap around pedestal but do not. Screw holes do line up if placed inside lip on pedestal.
Thank you for replies
