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 -- Steve -- Steve http://jackpot.netwinner.com/?signupCode=vwprheak |

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.

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. -- John Galbreath Jr. www.FireLogs.com Irondale, Alabama 888.321.Logs |
