  • Page 5: Tips On Wood Heating

    The chimney is the engine that drives the wood-heating system. Use a chimney that is UL- listed, with an inner diameter to match the stove’s outlet collar (6” for all Drolet wood stoves); Try to run the chimney inside the building for as much length as you can. A tall and warm chimney will produce a good draft;...

  • Page 6: Section 1.0 - Installation

    POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove in an area that will favour the most efficient heat distribution throughout the house. The stove should therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible.
  • Page 7 84" (2134 mm). Clearances to any combustibles when measured directly from the front of the stove must be a minimum of 48" (1219 mm). The stove must also be placed so as to maintain the minimum clearances to combustible walls specified for each type of connector used. See Table 1.3 below for all clearance measures.

  • Page 8: Reduced Clearances Using Shielding

    You may decrease the minimum clearances to combustible materials by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. Those heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and must be made of a heat-resistant or heat-tolerant material.

  • Page 9: Floor Protector

    FLOOR PROTECTOR If the stove is to be installed on top of a combustible floor, it must be guarded by a non-combustible material extending at least 18” (300mm) from the front and 8” (200mm) from the sides and the back of the firebox., as shown in Figure 1.4 below.

  • Page 10: Section 2.0 Chimney (Flue System)

    Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL103 (USA) or ULCS629 (Canada) standards. It must therefore be a 6”...
  • Page 11 In fact, a large chimney will be harder to warm-up and may not reach high enough temperatures to create a proper draft effect. Note that it is the chimney which creates the draft effect, not your stove. Your stove's performance is therefore directly dependent on an adequate draft from your chimney.

    North American retailers of wood stoves and related heating accessories. Wall support system If your chimney must rise along an outside wall, you need to connect it to your stove through an adjacent wall. For this type of installation, the following items are normally required : Chimney •...
  • Page 13 FIGURE 2.2.1 (A) Typical installation through the wall 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.
  • Page 14 4- Then, from outside the building, slide a short chimney length (attached to the tee) through the wall thimble. The chimney must extend at least 3 inches into the living space where it attaches to the stove pipe.
  • Page 15 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. When the wall support is level and properly positioned, you can use lag bolts to secure it into the wall studs.
  • Page 16 9- You are now ready to connect your chimney to your stove. Simply install the inter-connecting stove pipe between the stove pipe adapter and the stove. You can follow the instructions in the following section (section 2.3) of this manual called « CHIMNEY CONNECTOR».
  • Page 17 FIGURE 2.2.1 (B) Typical Installation Through the Ceiling 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 18 4- Once the support is secure, you can begin to assemble the chimney by lowering the first section into the support. 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.
  • Page 19 6- Now, you can add additional chimney sections. Continue adding chimney lengths until a height of about 2 feet below the next ceiling level. An attic insulation shield must be installed where a chimney passes from a lower living space into an upper living space or attic space. It is designed to keep insulation materials away from the chimney.

  • Page 20: Typical Installation Through An Existing Masonry Chimney

    2.2.2 Typical installation through an existing masonry chimney You can also install your stove using your existing masonry chimney. To do so, follow the guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, on construct your own brick thimble. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the Building Code in your region.

  • Page 23: Chimney Connector

    Your chimney connector (commonly called stove pipe) and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove’s exhaust outlet. The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or cold roll steel with a minimum 24- gauge thickness (0.021" or 0.53 mm). It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.

  • Page 24: Draft

    If you test the draft using a pressure gauge, the reading should be between .05 - .07 inches of water column (w.c.) at a medium-high fire.

  • Page 25: The Advantage Of Installing A Blower (Fan)

    THE ADVANTAGE OF INSTALLING A BLOWER (FAN) A blower can be installed at the back of your Drolet stove. This option is necessary if you wish to redistribute into a room the heat trapped at the back of your stove. By forcing hot air toward the front, the blower enables you to extend the radiation and convection power of your stove.

  • Page 27: Fuel

    • Never use gasoline type lantern fuel, kerosene, solvents, charcoal lighter fluid, or inflammable liquids to start or "refresh" a fire in the stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.

  • Page 28: The Use Of Manufactured Logs

    (one year or more is recommended). This reduces the moisture content of the wood, resulting in a better stove performance. Wood species with moisture content of 20% or less are ideal. Dry, seasoned cord wood, can be distinguished from green wood by the cracks at each end of the logs.

  • Page 29: Simple Wood Moisture Test

    Decorative fireplaces generally have larger, cooler, and less air-tight fireboxes. Your Drolet stove, on the other hand, has a smaller, completely sealed firebox which attains much higher temperatures. It is therefore not designed to support excessive heat caused by the addition of chemicals in manufactured logs.

  • Page 30: Maintaining The Fire

    Your Drolet stove will work best if a thick bed of hot embers is maintained in the bottom of the firebox, and a minimum of two large pieces of seasoned fuel are added. Combustion efficiency is largely related to establishing a hot ember bed, and hot firebox temperatures.

  • Page 31: Maintenance

    Carefully clean the gasket groove, apply a high temperature silicone sold for this purpose, and install the new gasket. Use only the genuine Drolet gasket. You may light up your stove again approximately 24 hours after having completed this operation.

  • Page 32: Ash Removal Using The Ash Drawer

    • If bright embers are glowing above the ash dump cap during a low or medium fire, air may be leaking past the ash plug. If this is happening, a possible over fire hazard exists. The stove should be shut down and allowed to cool.

  • Page 33: Chimney (Flue) Cleaning

    If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Call a professional chimney sweep, or go to your local Drolet dealer, purchase a chimney brush, and have the chimney cleaned.
