What I hope to do is supply the combustion air AND the uptake air into the flue. This will mean a lot less air infiltration from doors and windows. Albeit, I've kind of trained myself to leave a vent cover up for a bit of fresh air.
Very interesting, and addresses a question that I had been mulling over to ask you. I was wondering how that flue was going to draft at all, given that you had successfully built a literally airtight trailer. I had missed the mention of a combustion air inlet in your build.
I quite sure I don't understand the need for or the purpose of the Tee.
As always, your work is top-notch.
Is it the plan to fully close the combustion air from the interior air?
I like your antenna builds and hope you have a handy link to the build details as I would like to replicate.
btw: yes, we're out here watching!
The antenna builds are well documented. Let me know if I can help you.
