Correct, just as the reg says.

That is why I said I was guilty and "some" of the discussion was moot.

You are very wrong about all oil burners going positive. The combustion chamber should absorb the shock wave. Not the flue pipe. Also if the burner is set up correctly you won't even know when it lights off. Your flue pipe should never go positive ever. I work on boiler that run over 100gph Your argument about reasoning for smoke pipe to be positive the. You should be using a positive pressure pipe. Not normal smoke pipe. I would like to know where you get all of your expertise from.

You have to read what I said rather than what you think I said. I simply pointed to easily observable phenomena that can be explained no other way. Does not take much expertise.

This thread is about the installation of a baro in a particular way that the manufacturer does not recommend. I tried to explain why as did coldsweat. If that runs counter to what you believe, so be it.

I agree with franco b on this. He likely has more experience with this than anyone else on here. When an accumulation of volatile gases ignite after I put a fresh load of coal on, I see my baro door slam shut for a fraction of a second. I'm pretty sure during that small period of time, everything went positive. It only makes sense. Why wouldn't that be also true for a flash in an oil burner? ;)
