Instead of having just the small screen on the underside of the tank for air intake like the Smith/State/Whirpool etc have, does the Bradford White have the entire bottom open to accept air intake (I know it gets air from grates on side of heater but was wondering if when it actually goes in the burn chamber is it the same small opening as the others mentioned or is the whole bottom open?
The BW picture is a little confusing as it shows air coming up in one section. I thought I read somewhere that the BW is superior because it allows air to come up into the chamber from the whole bottom (which to me would be a benefit for proper combustion and drafting, venting)
Thanks
