Do you down draft?

[gardener]

Curious if any of you down draft your stove/boiler/furnace?
If so, how does it go with you? Do you use a manometer?
Even if you don't, thoughts?

I have it in mind to give it a try, but probably be a few years before I get around to it.
I imagine if the draft is sufficient I shouldn't have an issue.

It's not really proper practice to have flue gases go down before going up, but it should work once chimney draft is established.. the challenge might be getting the chimney to start "pulling"

I down draft, but I have trouble walking if I down too many..

Not much different than a Baseburner,Baseheater,Ranges and some Oaks with back pipes.

Some ranges are 3 or 4 or 5 sides.

Look up Rosemont Radiators that are installed behind stoves or on the second floor as bedroom heaters. Adding another 12 feet of exhaust path to the already many feet of extended exhaust path within the heater.

Some round Baseburners the breech is in the ash floor, then piped across the floor to chimney.

That got my attention.

Something like that would work well for me with my upstairs stove pipe. How much would one of these cost? Im sure something could be fabbed out too. I include a link and if anyone wants to see more pics of it click on the arrow by the picture.

I think I saw one for sale when I was browsing for photos Tuesday.

Huh, I had the impression all of those had internal dampers to initially operate in direct draft until they heated up.

gonna watch for that, thanks! I find that really interesting
always presumed that old houses didn't suffer as much from CO leakage cause how drafty they could be, wonder how a setup like this would do until the stove warms up

Heating appliance will only lose .01 in draft when indirect draft is engaged. Just takes longer to rev/start a fire, compared to direct draft. BB's,BH's and ranges.

Look at the first baseburner the Morning Glory, a couple pages into catalog . Pics of breech in bottom of ash floor.
