Heading back into the 60's...........sure hope the trees don't start budding out again. We lost all the fruit trees and black locust buds last year, budded early then had a very hard freeze.

This has to be one of the strangest winters! We have had one snows storm and a couple of really cold days but mostly spring like weather. All the flowers are coming up and trees budded out. Temps to be in the 60s the next couple of days so going to get out and top off ponds and check on everything. Hopefully the weather will get warmer for those of you who are in the deep freeze!

Getting warmer here too. Will be in the high 40's today and tomorrow heads up in the 50's. Time to get to splitting the huge wood pile, hauling and stacking. It's starting to get unfrozen from the ground so you can move it.

51 right now .I contacted fergusons.com about the navien water heater and was surprised by the online store and the showroom .They are cheaper than lowes or home depot for the appliances I bought and the over the range microwave is 20 dollars cheaper than lowes or HD .Even the dishwasher is cheaper .I checked the online store for the products they sell .I was really shocked they would be cheaper being a showroom .They have a showroom in Martinsville I have passed for years and never knew :(dummy me

Stepped into my Fegusons looking for an industrial valve. Wow what an awesome showroom! Told my wife I'd take her there for our new dinning room light. Still can't understand why I did that.

Sissy, the blower fan should draw room air in through the front face bottom grill and out through the top grill, back into the room.
The vent pipe you pictured should be a combustion air intake for the flame.
You should be able to remove the inside components to inspect the blower fan.

I am not sure how to take it apart inside and it is a desa unit fan kit says it is bk3 and unit says it is model number c36emw-r .The fan is not sucking air in or blowing air out the top .I had a blower on my masonry fireplace in NJ and this one runs but no air goes in and no air comes out .I got the books out that came with the unit and it has nothing in as to how to remove the fake walls or floor of the unit .I don't want to have the propane one put in until I figure this fan out .In the book it talks about outside air kit is in the floor of the house and is ak-6 kit .It talks about in the book of the double wall chimney system Talks about outer pipe being galvinized and inner pipe being stainless steel .I wonder if that could be used to make it a direct vent unit instead since they provide more heat and don't burn your indoor air and they do not produce the smells like unvented do

Gosh, I have no idea what that pipe could be. Is this a wood burning fireplace? When I read through your post I thought it might be a means to ash disposal, but seeing the picture, I don't think so.

It looks like there are some retaining clips (#53 and #55 in the picture) that hold the 4 ceramic panels in place. The side panels probably come out first.
