Does it have to be by the wood furnace? or just in the same room? wont this cool the room down in the winter? especially when im not burning?
when the stove isnt burning,,the air "pressure" inside the house,,goes neutral..when the stove is burning,,your creating a vacuum in the house..if you dont put a outside air intake in,,it WILL pull in air wherever it will come in,,esp thru windows that arent perfectly air tight......By the furnace..so the cold air goes right to the stove intake. it doesnt have to..you can also plumb it into the intake side of the forced air furnace,,and it will relieve the vacuum.. this aint needed with electric heat..as you arent burning up the oygen in the air supporting a fire..
