I had a Quadrafire Sapphire given to me and would like to install it in my existing basement 13 x 18 Chimney. Just wanted to go over a few things before I start ordering parts.
I would like to do a hearth mount and vent up the 30ft chimney. From the manual example it looks like I would start with a Co-Axial To Co-Linear connector to 2 3" flex pipes then up the chimney threw a block off plate to Chimney Liner Termination cap with a vent cap on top of that.
The manual also gives an example of extending the exhaust up to the Termination cap and letting the intake air draw from inside the chimney from behind the block off plate.
Besides saving me $65 dollars whats the difference with the second option. Is there a safety issue with drawing air from the chimney space?
Also in the flue over I have my wood stove installed is there an issue with maybe drawing smoke down the intake?
Thanks for any input!
