Tjernlund DJ-3 Inline Draft Inducer Fan for Vertical Vent Sy

No more smoke filling my basement when I light up my woodstove cold. I used to be plagued by this problem. I'd open my woodstove door and I could feel that cold draft blowing down my chimney and unless I could get my stove hot fast my basement would fill with smoke and I'd have to open the windows. Not fun when you live in northern Canada and it's -30°C outside. This unit came with a cutout template for my stovepipe that helped with an easy installation. I am very please with this. Hands down one of the best investments I could have done for my wonderful woodstove life.

The good: The draft inducer works great. We bought it to help with a smoke problem in our newly built coal fired forge. The inducer works great! We were a little skeptical about its ability to move enough air to be effective. It turns out to have plenty of volume. The installation was a little tricky but the wiring was a piece of cake. I wish it would come with all the hardware. Missing was a conduit clamp that you have to use to keep the incoming conduit from getting cut over time. The bad: Well, it really isn't all that bad. Just annoying. The problem is in the template. You have to be VERY careful when applying the template to the exhaust tube or it will not line up square which causes the mounting holes to be off just enough to be problematic. Once the hole is cut out in that case, it can't really be easily fixed properly. We wound up replacing one piece of the exhaust tube. Luckily I had made a copy of the template just in case. Overall thought this is a good product. Hopefully it will last for the long haul.

My gas water heater is a crappy Rheem low NOx with motorized damper valve unit that only works well when there is a strong flue draft or when the water heater has been running and the flue is warm. If it were not for a local gas company rebate i would not have gotten this unreliable low NOx version. However, this draft inducer fan makes the gas heater run more reliably and the heater does not fault out and throw error codes as much, and it is about an order of magnitude more reliable than before. This fan did the trick. I used a generous amount of high temp heat duct aluminum foil tape to seal the pipe around and after the fan to make sure exhaust gases are not coming into the house. The fan makes some noise and a little bit of vibration, but it is acceptable and inline with my expectations. I put in a breakbean IR sensor on the motorized damper valve with a relay to only turn on the draft inducer fan when the damper is open. Its been working well for a year now so far.
