Air Tight Wall Vent for Log Burner

[benben5555]

Hi,

 

Not sure if this exists but I'm looking for an air tight wall vent for our planned log burner. I'd like to have something that I can open when the stove is in use and then close off to an air tight standard when its not in use.

 

The stove will have direct ventilation but I understand that when you open the door smoke can spill out if you don't have enough air supply in the room (house is airtight with MVHR).

 

Thanks

I did see something like that I looked for ours, but concluded it was a waste of time and money so didn't pursue any further.

If your ventilation is balanced it shouldn't, no combustion air should come from the room. Just make sure you get a stove where primary and secondary air come from outside only (some/plenty don't) - nothing should come from the house internals.
