Is there a vent through the outside wall or is the fan supposed to force the
exhaust gases through the blocks? I have never heard of one of these before
either. I would want those exhaust gases out of my house though, they're
comprised of mostly carbon monoxide along with some other products of
combustion, not a healthy combination.
