Hello,
I attempting to measure draft for the coal stove. I have a manometer. What setting/unit am I suppose to measure? I have the following options... inH20, psi, bar, mbar, kPa, inHg, mmHg, ozin, ftH2O, cmH2O, or kgcm.
If I had to guess would be inches water (inH20), but not sure...
Thanks,
Paul K

typically, INCHES of H20 and will be .02-.04 normally. can vary a bit depending on temperatures. but power vents/direct vents are pretty constant draft.
My Keystoker direct vent has a slider plate to adjust the draft. i measure directly on the side of my stove.

mine was coming up 0, adjusted it to .4... want to test again in the morning cause I shut it down and cleaned some of it today. Its been set the same way since day 1, but sometimes I would get a sulfur (or something smell). Usually that let me know it was time to clean it.... .... I have co detectors all around, none ever went off... digital one has been at 0 since i got it.
