I've been burning wood for about 7 years. I 've got a Travis Industries LOPI Answer that I'm thinking of venting for outside combustion air (instead of sucking up the warm interior air). I know the manufacturer has the set up & specs for connecting the vent, but I'd like to hear from anyone using outside cumbustion air for an indoor wood stove pros & cons?
My stove has great draft w/ a straight pipe up through the ceiling. I'm just wondering if the stone cold ouside air will impact the efficiency even though it's supposed to be "prewarmed" within he unit before hiting the cumbusttion chamber.
Any thoughts or experiences.
FYI I love my LOPI Answer-one of three wood stoves that we have.
Thanks-
