  • Page 6: Assembly

    Chimney Connector Guidelines A chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe that connects the stove to the chimney. The chim- ney itself is the masonry or prefabricated structure that encloses the flue. Chimney connectors are used only to connect the stove to the chimney, as in Figure 5. Double-wall connectors must be tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning appliances.

  • Page 21: Operation

    The Encore NC Controls Two controls regulate the performance of the Encore NC: a primary air control supplies oxygen for the fire, and a damper directs air flow within the stove to activate and deactivate the non-catalytic combustion system. Except when starting or reviving a fire, add- ing fuel or when the stove doors are open, the damper should always be closed.

  • Page 27 Creosote Creosote is a by-product of slow wood-burning. It is an organic tar that can condense in the flue if the exhaust gases cool too much. Condensed creosote is volatile, and can fuel chimney fires if it gets hot enough. All the factors that affect chimney draft also affect creosote condensation - so use installation features and opera- tional steps that encourage good draft and minimize...
