Why would you pull air from inside to burn and force cold air to be drawn in from all the cracks and so-forth. Not to mention cold air is denser, more oxygen, for a hotter burn.
And for code in northern Michigan, in the woods (the big woods), it's pretty lenient. As long as I feel good (as a licensed builder and licensed electrician) I should be good.
I wonder where you can source all those sweet oven doors and all that cool iron work, need to start looking.
Happy new year by the way. Seems a lot like last year, 'cept I gotta start paying FICA again so it's actually worse than the end of last year. Great.
