Fitting an air vent in a garage |

Hi guys |
|
Well after I fitted a Potbelly stove in my garage earlier this |
|
year I have decided on fitting a Hit and Miss ( adjustable ) air |
|
vent on the opposite wall which is where my bench is and even |
|
though the garage gets very warm for some reason the heat seam's |
|
to struggle to get to the other side of the garage where my |
|
bench is so I am trying to see if this idea would work so today |
|
I dug my SDS drill out to drill the ( concrete sectional ) wall |
|
of the garage and fitted the vent in place so on Monday when I |
|
am off again I will get the stove going again and see if it has |
|
worked, if not I will close the vent so I don't have a permanent |
|
draft when I am working on the bench. |
|
What do you think :smile1 |

Had the stove on today to try the vent out and it works a treat |
|
as the area where the bench is is now nice and warm and not too |
|
warm to work just right and I can adjust the vent at the bench |
|
if I need to, so I will just have to wait till winter kicks in |
|
to find out properly but it seams to be working up to now |
|
:smile1 |

By vent you mean nothing more than a hole in your wall around |
|
your bench, at the opp. end to your stove. Not tubular |
|
vent/ducting, going from over your stove to the opp. end? |
|
Correct? |
|
I would have argued not, I'm surprised it worked. Seems I would |
|
have lost the argument. |

Correct and yes it worked not like its pulling loads of heat |
|
towards the bench area but just a nice amount of heat rather |
|
than being cold if stood over the bench for long periods of |
|
time, but the real test will be when winter kicks in good and |
|
proper as we are supposedly expecting a bad winter this year so |
|
we will see :smile1 |

|
getting fed up of false promises of a bad winter, do you think |
|
they'll get it right eventually? |

It would be nice if we have a good winter but having the stove |
|
in the garage now just allows me to work on the 2a all year |
|
round and it I have a shit job to do on it in the winter it |
|
isn't a problem |
