Page 6: 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 18: Chimney
CHIMNEY 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 UL 103 or ULC S629 standards; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100 °F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. -
Page 19: Chimney Connector
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 20 FIGURE 2.3 (B) Minimum Slope The assembly should be as short and direct as possible between the stove and chimney (See figure 2.4 (A)). The use of two 45 degree elbows (See figure 2.4 (C)) is often preferable to a single 90 degree elbow (See figure 2.4 (B)) because less turbulence is created in the exhaust flow and they result in less horizontal run. (A) (B) (C) FIGURE 2.4 The use of elbows...

Page 21: Draft
DRAFT Your E.P.A Drolet stove’s performance will be optimised if it is installed with a chimney (flue) system that provides an adequate draft. The draft is the force that moves air from the appliance up through the chimney and is predominantly affected by the height and diameter of the chimney, as well as the stack temperatures of the stove. -

To do so, follow the guidelines below. You may want to use a factory-built thimble, or 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 26: Outside Combustion Air
OUTSIDE COMBUSTION AIR Your DROLET stove is approved to be installed with an outside air intake which is necessary for a mobile home. This type of installation is also required in air tight houses and houses with negative pressure problems. You can purchase this option through your DROLET dealer. Make sure to specify this part number: #AC02080. -
Page 27: Woodstove Utilisation
WOODSTOVE UTILISATION Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only; no other materials should be burnt. Wastes and other flammable materials should not be burnt in your wood stove. Any type of wood may be used in your stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others. Please consult the following table in order to make the best possible choice. -
Page 28: Testing Your Wood
TESTING YOUR WOOD When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split wood (about five inches in diameter) parallel to the door on the bed of red embers. Keep the air control full open by pulling on it and close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished within 90 seconds from the time if was placed in the stove, your wood is correctly dried. -
Page 29: Heating
Your DROLET stove burnt between .954 kg\h and 2.556 kg\h. of wood during EPA testing. Real operating conditions may give very different results than those obtained in the lab according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature. -
Page 30: Reloading
RELOADING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers, you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove's door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draught and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove. -
Page 31: Use Of The Bypass Damper
USE OF THE BYPASS DAMPER Your stove is equipped with a bypass damper. This feature should be used, if needed, upon start-up of the stove to help heat-up the chimney faster. The bypass damper should be closed as soon as there is a fire going inside the firebox and smoke is moving upward through the exhaust system. -
Page 32: Ash Disposal
ASH DISPOSAL Ashes should be removed from the stove every few days or when ashes get to 2 to 3 inches deep. Always empty the stove when it is cold, such as in the morning. Always dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. Other waste shall not be placed in this container. -
Page 33: Maintenance
If the glass on your stove breaks, replace only with glazing supplied from the Drolet dealer. To replace the glass, remove the screws retaining the glass mouldings inside the door. -
