Re: [GBlist] wood stoves and air intake in not so tight homes

[Sacie Lambertson <dlambert@grasshoppernet.com>]

You probably ought to try to tighten your cottage up a bit--at some point
plan to insulate it properly (Check out the insulation in the
attic/ceiling and start there.) ; in the meantime caulk all those joints
where you feel air coming through.  Surely won't need anything
mechanical--you have the huge hole of the chimney (make sure your stove
flue is well insulated too).   Sacie Lambertson
