[Greenbuilding] "AIR TIGHT" wood stove

[christian corson]

Rais , Regency, and several other Europen Co's  make air tight wood and
pellat stoves and boilers. As well as Mark Calawet (sp?) in VT at hydro to
heat . They all require make up air. I have a POS (Century
from Northern tool) wood stove in my house that I retrofitted and I blower
door test at below .7 ACH/50.
