Question
I am installing a Quadra-Fire and the height of my fireplace will require that I use an "offset box". Will this drastically effect my draft. Chimney height is 25' and 12" x 12". I will be using 6" ss liner to the top.
Answer
Hi Matthew,
Typically, an offset box, if properly-installed, will not drastically affect your draft.
Thanks for using AllExperts.Com and good luck with your project.
Sincerely,
A. Bart Ogden, President
