<VV> <VV>RE: BLOCKED HOLE IN TOP COVER

[Harry Yarnell]

Good question. If you've ever had the heatbox apart, it's a very clever
piece of engineering. I think hot air will escape out the cool air inlet if
left uncaped. However with the blower on high, there may be a low pressure
area around that inlet to allow ambient air in. I don't know, so I cap it
off with a soup can, or tomato can, can't remember, but one is a press fit.
