Page 6: Installation Of Your Drolet Wood Stove
Important: A wood stove must never be installed in a hallway or near a staircase, since it may block the way in case of fire or fail to respect required clearance. The wood stove must not be hooked up to a hot air distribution system since an excessive accumulation of heat may occur. -
Page 7: Clearances To Combustible Materials
You may decrease these clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall. The installation standards of such heat radiation shields are listed on the following page. -
Page 8: Installation Of A Heat Radiation Shield
INSTALLATION OF A HEAT RADIATION SHIELD Following the installation of a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table. TYPE OF PROTECTION Minimal requirements: 0,013" (0,33 mm) sheet metal with 1"... -

1” (25 mm) on the diameter. (ex: For a stove with an exhaust of 6”, the chimney flue should not exceed 7” of diameter.) Note that it is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft effect; your stove's performance is directly dependent on an adequate draft from your chimney. - Page 10 A 90 elbow 1- Start by positioning your stove where you would like it to go, taking into account the minimum clearances to combustible material. You will then be able to determine where the chimney will pass through the wall. You will probably have to adjust the stove position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the studs.
- Page 11 The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe. 5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee.
- Page 12 CEILING SUPPORT SYSTEM If your chimney must rise inside the house and go through the ceiling, you need to connect it to your stove at the ceiling level. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney •...
- Page 13 Suitable lengths of stove pipe 1- Place your stove where you would like it located and use a plumb line to mark the ceiling directly above your stove flue. You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists.
- Page 14 Make sure that the male coupler is pointing upwards, as indicated by the arrow on the chimney label. 5- Then, from beneath the support, insert the stove pipe adapter and twist-lock it into place. 6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 fet below the next ceiling level.

Page 15: Couplings
Your connectors and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your supplier in order to insure there will be no problem with the draft. Your connectors should be made of aluminized or ordinary steel with a minimum 24 gauge thickness. -
Page 17: Exterior Air Intake
Information regarding installation of the thermodisc is included with the device. The blower system includes some particularities for specific stove models: For the Compak, CS1200, Little Sawman, ML, Nordic and RC, an adaptor is required in order to install the blower. That adaptor is included with the stove, when purchased. -
Page 18: Baffle Brick Installation (Sawman Stove Only)
The baffle brick will eventually need to be replaced. How long it will take depends on how often you use your stove. It is very important that you do not postpone the replacement of the baffle brick when you see that it starts to disintegrate. -
Page 19: Operating Your Drolet Wood Stove
This point cannot be overstressed enough; the vast majority of the problems related to the operation of a wood stove is caused by the fact that the wood used was too damp or had dried in poor conditions. -
Page 20: Ignition
Make sure that the chimney and flue pipe are well installed according to specifications. Respect all clearances to combustibles and floor protection according to the unit you have chosen. If you are not sure that your installation is adequate, do not hesitate to contact your Drolet dealer. IGNITION The installation of a log cradle is NOT RECOMMENDED in your DROLET wood stove. - Page 21 It is extremely important that you use your stove in such a way that you do not lower the temperature of the combustion gases inside the chimney too much. For this purpose, we strongly recommend that you install a Drolet chimney thermometer on your exhaust pipe, approximately 18"...

Page 24: Frequently Asked Questions
The word “draft” refers to the hot air movement that circulates in your stove’s exhaust system, moving from the stove to the outside of the house, and carrying with it the combustion residues. The draft is a natural phenomenon. Hot air weights less than cold air, causing it to rise. This is why the higher the temperature in the exhaust system, the stronger the draft. - Page 25 DRAWING #1 shows a stove functioning under normal and adequate conditions. Heat rises to the upper floors and the room where the stove is located has an adequate supply of oxygen. The chimney draft is sufficient and the combustion gases are evacuated normally through the exhaust system.
- Page 26 DRAWING #2 DRAWING #2 shows the effect of a cold chimney. Cold air creates a reverse draft (negative pressure), which causes smoking problems. This phenomenon is amplified by the fact that heat rises, which creates a draft from the basement of the house to the upper floors (“chimney stack effect”).
- Page 27 DRAWING #3 DRAWING #3 shows the effect of negative pressure caused by an air-moving device inside the house. In the example above, the range hood draws air from inside the house, which is replaced by air coming from the chimney. The result is a smoking problem.
- Page 28 DRAWING #4 DRAWING #4 shows the negative pressure effect caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a building.
- Page 29 DRAWING #5 DRAWING #5 shows the negative pressure effect that can be caused by wind, influenced by nearby structures such as a tree.

There are different sizes of firebricks. Most stores will sell firebricks with a dimension of 4,5”X9”X1,25”. These firebricks are adequate for many stoves, but will not fit on all Drolet units. It is preferable that you visit our parts section in order to clearly identify the type of firebrick that you need. Some models, like the HT1200, HT2000, Sawman, Vision XL, and Royal Comfort have some larger, non-standard firebricks that are only available on special order. -
