I have a functional, but non-efficient "B-Vent" (requires its own flue or chimney) style flue gas stove that I want to somehow try to convert to an energy-efficient (almost 99%) "vent-less/vent-free" heater/stove. What I am trying to determine is how to do this safely. I want to totally close off my existing flue and capture 100% of the heat just as if it were a vent-less model. The only difference I can see between the two models is that the ventless models are required to come with a special oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) as part of the pilot flame apparatus. I was going to replace my gas logs but instead I have cleaned my stove, blocked the flue, removed the glass front door, have run the stove, smell no gas fumes, and constantly monitor the CO with a detector which reads zero. Anything wrong with this setup? |
