'Recent OAK thread was interesting, and caused me a little concern...
I thought I might need a OAK, as our house was falling apart, and needed stuccoing and new windows throughout. After the job, the house is as quiet as a tomb, even during a windstorm. I was worried the stove would not draw. However, there is no problem, so far. There is still the whole-house fan uptake vent (hinged slatted door) which we will cover with an insulated air-tight cover for the winter. I'll keep you posted if this causes draft problems.
