[QUOTE="chuter, post: 3507961, member: 13693"] We have a wood stove, burned it a lot the first couple of years but not so much since then, it's really a backup for the main heating system. We had a vent and fresh air kit put in from the wall right behind the stove, into the attic, and out under the eaves. Once I happened to get lucky and was just checking on the stove and noticed the vent pipe was really hot. I always check the draft before lighting it up, but I think the wind conditions were just right and it started drafting in reverse; I was lucky it didn't catch the wall on fire. Since then I disconnected the stove from the vent and just have an open vent in the wall close to the stove. [/QUOTE]
