CHIMNEY SIZING

stove. If the chimney diameter is too large, it will be dif-

ﬁcult to raise the chimney ﬂue temperature to provide for

adequate draft. This may result in a poor burn, smoke

spillage, and rapid creosote creation. A 6” diameter

chimney is best suited for this stove.

Your heating appliance must have a minimum of

a 6” diameter (152mm) chimney. Maximum chimney

diameter must not exceed 10” (254mm) or have a cross

sectional area greater than 85 sq. in. (550cm

Proper draft for this heating appliance is minimum of

0.05 w.c. (water column measurement) and is required

to prevent back pufﬁng, smoke spillage and prevent

safety hazards.

Today’s solid fuel heating appliances are much

more efﬁcient than those made in the past. Your heat-

ing appliance has been designed to provide the most

efﬁcient transfer of heat possible from the least amount

of fuel.

Controlled combustion is the key to optimum heat-

ing performance. Controlled combustion requires a ﬂow

of fresh air into the appliance, across the fuel and is

ﬁnally exhausted up the chimney.

Today’s high efﬁciency stoves transfer more heat

into the living area and less up the chimney. Exhaust

gases are typically at a lower temperature than tradi-

tional type stoves. With lower exhaust temperatures, it

is important that the chimney is correctly sized to the

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS

The stove must be connected to either a code-

approved masonry chimney with ﬂue liner or manu-

factured metal chimney system built and tested to the

speciﬁcations listed on the previous pages.

Chimneys perform two functions:

1). As a means of exhausting smoke and ﬂue gases

which are the result of fuel combustion.

2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows

oxygen to be continuously introduced into the ap-

pliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This

stove relies on natural draft to operate.

NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air

into the room where the stove is located. Failure

to do so may result in air starvation of other fuel

burning appliances and the possible development

of hazardous conditions, ﬁre or death.

A stove DOES NOT create draft. Draft is provided

by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney

must meet the four minimum height requirements

detailed in ﬁgures 11–13. If these minimum require-

ments are not met your stove will not operate

properly. A minimum of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water

column) is required for proper drafting to prevent back

pufﬁng, smoke spillage, and to maximize performance.

(Gauges to measure draft are readily available at stove

stores and are economical to rent or purchase.)

Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees,

terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse

effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held

responsible for external factors leading to less than

optimal drafting.

Should you have a problem with inadequate draft,

you should contact a licensed heating and cooling con-

tractor for assistance in solving the problem.

IMPORTANT Installation Points

1. Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stove

requires a minimum of a 6” diameter ﬂue.

2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving

another appliance.

3. The chimney must meet all minimum height

requirements.

4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or

basement.

5. Contact your local building authority for approved

methods of installation and any necessary permits

and/or inspections.

MASONRY CHIMNEY

Fig. 10 - Masonry Chimney Connection

Connection may be made to a code-approved ma-

sonry chimney with ﬂue liner. Before using an existing

masonry chimney, clean the chimney, inspect the ﬂue

liner and make any repairs needed to be sure it is safe

to use. Make repairs before attaching the stove. The

connector stove pipe and ﬁttings you will need to con-

nect directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in

ﬁgure 10.

If the connector stove pipe must go through a

combustible wall before entering the masonry chimney,
