Wood stove independent of room air?

Hello everyone,

we want to have our wood-burning stove inspected soon, have had a chimney with fresh air supply installed, the stove itself is already at home and can be operated independently of room air. The connection for the flue pipe was prepared at the factory.

The chimney sweep, however, definitely required a pressure monitor due to the existing controlled residential ventilation, which was also installed.

For the room-air-independent operation, I would now still have to make an additional fresh air connection at the chimney, which, of course, involves costs. Now I wonder if the effort is even worth it since I already have the pressure monitor installed and there is constantly fresh air due to the controlled residential ventilation.

Does anyone have experience with making the fresh air connection? Is it simply a matter of drilling a hole up to just before the clay pipe?

What is that supposed to mean? Either the chimney can be operated independently of room air, so it is connected or not. The room-air-independent operation works inside the chimney, meaning its construction: it draws air from above. Either your chimney can do that or not. That’s my understanding. If your chimney installer demands something, something is missing. The pressure monitor is there to switch off the controlled residential ventilation in case of pressure differences; according to your argument, you will suffocate. Who is installing the chimney for you? We had no additional costs beyond the room-independent chimney, the installation of the fireplace, and the acceptance of the chimney.

Hi

A look at the installation manual of the chimney to connect the fresh air will surely help.
The connection to the stove is then actually no problem anymore. So just do it!
The pressure switch turns off the controlled residential ventilation if, for example, the necessary amount of air is no longer supplied due to a dirty fresh air filter. Otherwise, the controlled residential ventilation would vent the flue gases.

that is not correct. What counts is what the district chimney sweep says. "His will is law."

That is actually decided by the chimney sweep. It is related to the controlled residential ventilation system.
