Is there no way to put a fresh air intake on this stove so we could use it in an airtight home?

Also be aware there will be a "burn in" on the stove for the first few fires that will make the stove smoke a bit and smell because of the paint on the outside of it. You might want to set it up outside and light a few fires in it before you bring it into your home.

It's radiant heat. Why do you think you need to pull air from the outside to vent the stove or need a fresh air intake? Your house being airtight only means the stove is more efficeint I'm sure your house is not as airtight as you think. But non the less this stove will work in a drafty house as well as in a air tight home. If your chimney is installed correctly it will draft just fine in a "airtight" home.

It comes with instructions on how to install the pipe and damper. If your home is not sealed up like tupperware you won't need a cold fresh air intake. I have had this stove in my house for 2 years now and for the money it can't be beat!

A fresh air intake is not available. It is not designed for use in an airtight home.

Dont buy it on amazon. Its cheaper in retail stores. 200.00 cheaper. And yes. It is sealed all but in the front. And it has a front air intake.

The air intake is the house.. no way to provide "fresh air intake" without modifications and parts NOT provided by what you receive, even if doing such modification was done properly, I don't believe it would be worth the effort or expense. The design of this stove dates back over one hundred years - when concepts like airtight home construction was not a consideration. You'd be trying to make this stove do something it was never intended to do; you may consider acquiring a stove that is designed for this - green building advisor dot com could help you on this.

If you set your stove up with the right pipe and damper you won't need to do the fresh air intake.

You can have a charcoal filter installed in the fan (I think you have to order it separately, but I would double check on that). I have the charcoal filter in mine but it does very little in terms of neutralizing cooking odors in the kitchen (and does nothing for smoke). My old range had a hood that vented the air outside and the fan on this microwave does not even come close in quality to a vented hood.

Yes, but only very carefully. The stove will need to be pushed to one side and the line leading to the propane container carefully fed out a hole in the read windscreen.I do not use my windscreens on this kitchen.

I would agree with the response by meggimoo. You need to compare the pattern of mounting hole locations, the air outlet dimensions, air volume and overall motor height which would be critical if the stove is standing near a wall. You may be able to play with the mounting holes by creating (drilling) new hole patterns on the motor mounting fringe according to the hole patterns on the stove.

Be careful putting water on top. I did it but you have to make sure there's water on it all the time. Same rules as a stove apply here.

John... I had the same problem as I want to put the stove in my cabin and the chimney must extend higher than the roof. I know of no place to purchase the same size pipe as with the stove so my solution was to go to my local muffler shop and have him custom fabricate a section of 2 1/2 inch exhaust pipe to my specs. They were able to match the diameter of the pipe to the existing pipe by flaring the ends. Keep in mind though that in order to maintain the proper draft, especially in cold weather, the length outside the house must be insulated. This is very important. Wrap the chimney with fiberglass matting and protect it against rain water and you will be all set. Hope this helps you. Phil John...

I'm curious about this as well, if the distance from the bottom will be too great or what. Perhaps one could use an alcohol stove with some wire to hold it up closer to the pot?

I don't know, but my suggestion is to get on your stove manufacturer's website and ask them the question. That will be your best advice.

Yes, but it seems like it would be difficult to place on the gas pipe leading to the stove where you could easily access it.

That is a very good question! But we do not have it vented and it works out fine.

Yes and put a Vacuum on it.It's just air more or less to check for leaks.It will cause you problems if you leave it in thereit's not Freon.

Maybe, if your fireplace opening it large enough to allow the unit to be placed inside. If you do this however, it will not be as efficient as if it is freestanding. IE less heat in the room. I recommend simply buying a new gas fireplace insert not a stove.

Not Legally, there is no way, because the manufacturer, did not design it that way... That Said, we have it in a building that has tons of open air, and it worked fine... it was still indoors but kinda not. In most states it's also illegal to have a propane tank indoors, (living areas),, you should check with the local authorities.. a person can get creative, though !!

Unknown, but it notes it should not be used on a stovetop (at all). As the air chamber providing insulation is sealed, heating the entire unit would be both a) ineffective for hearing the contents, as there is a barrier of air between the metal and the contents, and b) dangerous, as heating the contents enough to boil water is beyond the likely design specs --- but I'm not an expert. Even so, if you're able to heat the contents via induction, it still seems to involve boiling inside the pot which would rise over the boiling point (for the captured steam prior to release) and beyond the capabilities of the product?

I installed the unit in an island with an overhead island vent for the stove. I'm not aware of any vent for the oven. Mine is surrounded by cabinetry on three sides, so if there were a vent it's doing nothing.

You could for your own piece of mind, i didn't. Its solid as they come, I've had no air leaks at all. I mean it's certainly not going to hurt anything, but you shouldnt need to.

Hi. We have natural gas. No option in our area for dual fuel. Stove is second to none. B.
