I have a power vented Alaska Channing 3. It seems that all the heat is being sucked out the power vent. I have the vent almost closed off. Is there anything else I can do to help it? My dad has an AC3 as well (vented through a chimney) and it seems to put out twice the heat. Any advice would be appreciated!

You need to check the draft of your stove with a manometer and then you can adjust the baro and/or speed of the power venter if you hook up a rheostat. This has been discussed numerous times, just do a search on Power Venter speed control.
