Does anyone know anything about this Dwyer draft gauge. Does it come with everything needed to use it and does it have to be a permanent fixture it is the cheapest one I could find.

It's the right one, and it should have the hose and oil and fitting. Nice price, especially with free shipping!

Well I just found out that the $28.80 item will cost $31.00 to ship because it is considered a hazardous material because of the oil. oh yeaFreespirit wrote:Does anyone know anything about this Dwyer draft gauge.

Find one on ebay with the shipping price mentioned. Likely very few people, including myself, would know it was hazordous and just ship it normal. Just make sure it has the accessories, although there is nothing expensive required except the juice. Theres tons of info on here about installing them cheaply. And as asked, are your CO detector(s) working as thats a must have for coal?

The shipping is probably cheaper at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PAN3C8?keywo ... 1_1&sr=8-1
Or you can add this to your order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA3BMDW?keywo ... 1_7&sr=8-7 or some other item just to reach $35 and get free shipping.

I found one on Amazon $28.80 with free shipping it will be on its way. Yes my CO detectors are working. I plan on changing all of them this year because they are almost 4 years old. I have one that is on the hearth not far from the stove it's little blinking light is still blinking. I have it there because I run a ceiling fan all winter long in the living room. I have 10 first alerts that I purchased for $5.00 a piece when they were discoed at Shaw's So I am definitely all set on detectors. There is a big controversy on where they should be installed some say high some say low. I attempted my first burn with pea coal yesterday to season my grates it did not go well it definitely is different than my Efel. Today I did manage to get my nut coal to burn so today was a little better. I will try different methods till I hit on the one that best fits this stove. I am sure when my draft gauge gets here I will have plenty of questions. You guy's are so awesome thank you for all your help.SWPaDon wrote:The shipping is probably cheaper at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009PAN3C8?keywo ... 1_1&sr=8-1

You will want to get metal tubing or brass connectors for the connection to your stove/pipe. The plastic fitting and vinyl hose will immediately melt otherwise.

If yer not too concerned about cosmetics, a 12 inch section of auto brake line, snuggly fit thru a drilled hole in the pipe, will work just fine.

I assume then that the one I ordered will not do the total job? This is getting complicated!

We only care about the draft pressure. Yes the Dwyer Mark II model 25 is the man.
It's easy.

You don't need this for measuring the draft pressure..
