...'fraid you got that backwards. The blower draws air up thru the firebox...around the arch sheet (if so equipped)...thru the flues...up the stack...and out the blower. The blower creates a partial vacuum thru the boiler for the purposes of "combustion breathing". Carl B.

I have one of these. It comes with an aluminum bushing for the user to machine down as an adapter to fit different size smoke stacks.
