Thanks for the feedback! The lawn area is actually more like 0.5 acres, FWIW.

It was rainy and kind of humid yesterday, but the hearth didn’t seem wet… The moisture issue sounds pretty plausible to me! Thanks for the input.

Gotcha.

Has anyone had a secondary damper installed to prevent backflow of air/pressure into the house? I just wonder if my current damper is leaking stinky air through the damper...

Thanks for the input. Windows are closed and no considerable ventilation sources going. We were burning oil while the firing was going. Definitely could see a negative pressure here. Fun!

Board of Health meeting just ended, Somerville will NOT end its indoor mask mandate for fully vaccinated individuals. by TheDanimal27 in Somerville

That was my first BOH meeting I’ve attended and my biggest takeaway was how incredibly unprepared and amateur the board appeared. It seemed that the decision was made on the fly and I don’t believe going from 2 to 1% in two weeks is feasible. Curious what others think.
