Hello everyone,
we are planning to have our wood stove inspected soon. We have installed a chimney with a fresh air supply, and the stove is already at home and can operate independently of the room air. The connection for the flue pipe was prepared at the factory.
The chimney sweep, however, has definitely required a pressure monitor due to the existing controlled ventilation system, which has also been installed.
For independent room air operation, I would now need to create an additional fresh air connection to the chimney, which of course involves costs. Now I am wondering if this effort is even worth it since the pressure monitor is already installed and the controlled ventilation system constantly provides fresh air.
Does anyone have experience with creating the fresh air connection? Is it just a matter of drilling a hole up to just before the clay liner?

The chimney has a clay flue liner inside for the exhaust gases. This is surrounded by fresh air supply, and on the outside by lightweight concrete. This is a LAF chimney. The hole in the clay flue liner for the exhaust gases was already factory-made. The wall sleeve was installed and that's it.
For the fresh air supply, I need a separate opening at the bottom of the chimney. We plan to connect everything ourselves.

As mentioned before, the chimney expert has the final say and required the pressure monitor despite the dibt certification.
