Draft questions

[Mustang71]

Funny you say punch a whole because that's all it is lol get a hammer make a hole in the brick and tile then stick a pipe in and mortar it up.

You dont need a hole. The fireplace is operational right? Just use flex or Tee with cleanout.

Just dont keep your banjo so close by!!

Been burning for over 24hrs and zero issues so I think I got this thing solved. I am able to get fresh air from the basement garage door located about 15ft away. Thanks for the suggestions. I feel like a dummy not realizing my stove would draw so much air from that fireplace chimney.

I'd question the sharing of a common flue between a wood burner and furnace, I've always thought they should be separate.

They are but I have a CO detector downstairs and upstairs just in case.

Plus everything was fine last year and for the people who have lived here since the house was built.

Not that it wont work fine but I think it's just against building code to have a wood appliance in the same chimney as another appliance.

I'd guess building code requires them to be separate, good call on the CO detector....saved my ass years ago running a genset outside with a woodstove pulling the CO into the house from the outside.
