stove will be off for 10 days, do you guys cover the pipe outside or just leave as is.
What about the air intake outside, would you cover it to prevent cold air coming through the stove, if so what would you use?
or just leave as is also?
 
Geek,

You know its going to bug you, So I would plug the OAK with foam or something and bag the vent. It will give you a little piece of mind anyway.

Have a good trip and enjoy the Holidays

Geek, whatever you do, leave yourself a note taped to the stove so you'll remember to change it back when you get home.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
