Propane Fireplace Q.
 

We recenly bought a house that has a propane fireplace and we noticed the
wind blows in through the exhaust vent I guess. There's also a draft on non
windy days. Is this normal?
Should there be a damper or something that closes when not in use??

It has a little vent on the side of the house, about 1x2 Stainless Steel
vent, but that does not seem to help with the wind.

The fireplace is a Majestic IVDR33RP.
I'm not familar with propane fireplaces.
Thanks

Propane Fireplace Q.
 

Hi Steve,

I would check that the flashing on the vent termination is properly
caulked and sealed -- if not, air can leak *around* the vent and make
its way into the living space.

Cheers,
Paul

Are you sure on the model number? I have not heard of the one and do not
find a listing on the Distributor tech site. The 33' will be the width. R
is remote ready. P is propane. I do not think the "IV" is correct.
