I recently purchased Whitfield stove and terminated about 5' of 3"
horizontal piping with a T fitting with a vent plug on the top
leaving the bottom of the T open,should I plug the bottom?

Cost for pellets locally (NW) have gone down slightly $160>170 per ton
with the tread continuing to go down as more mills come online
according to some industry sources..how this compares to raising elect
rates I'm not sure yet but any comments would be helpful.

Where I live, electric is still the most expensive by far.
