As a kid growing up a neighbor of mine had a big wood stove in a small house and whenever we would visit to watch a game we would all be falling asleep in the room with the stove and we just thought it was the heat...well how about lack of oxygen! Wood is chemically 40% oxygen approx and when you use up the house oxy the wood keeps burning just because it fuels itself, this is one of the reason the 2 fuels differ, wood burners beware!

So I forgot to get back to everyone here about this issue, my bad. I ended up installing a 1/1/2 " pic pipe next to the back of the stove, now the baseburner is in the garage, but I also have a barometric damper installed which is using more air out of the garage, but I haven't had any problems sense! Sometimes you can actually feel the air being sucked in.
