UL103 (US), or a masonry chimney conforming to the requirements of provincial regulations or, in the absence of such regulations, to the requirements of the National Building Code of Canada. Newmac recommends an 8” round or 8” square chimney flue (inside dimension), however, this may be reduced to a 7” providing there is enough draft at the appliance to operate as designed.
BURNING WOOD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS When installation is complete, close the supply switch and turn the thermostat above room temperature. Check to make sure the forced draft fan above the fire door is operating when the thermostat is set above room temperature. The draft fan should be off when thermostat is set below room temperature.

proper procedure is established and followed, coal burning becomes a reasonably simple process with the benefits of long burn times and evenness of output over the entire length of burn. STARTING UP A NEW FIRE The flue draft must be -0.05” W.C. to allow combustion gases to flow freely out the chimney. Turn the solid fuel thermostat up to a setting well above the room temperature to start the draft fan.

SAFETY Whenever a loading door is opened, it always should be cracked slightly before fully opening to allow oxygen to enter and burn any combustible gases that are present. Failure to do this could result in sudden ignition of the unburned gases when the door is opened. A furnace never should be filled with excess coal so that the flue gas exit is in anyway blocked or impeded.

NOTICE IMPORTANT: This furnace must be installed according to CSA Standard B365 “Installation Code for Solid-Fuel Burning Appliances and Equipment”. The solid fuel side of this furnace is designed to burn wood only, unless equipped with grates thus allowing the burning of coal.

PREPARATION OF WOOD Once I have my wood at home, how do I prepare it for burning? The wood must be cut to length to suit the firebox of the stove, furnace, or fireplace in which it is to be burned.

The preceding is an excerpt from a document prepared by the Nova Scotia Energy Council and the Nova Scotia Research Foundation Corporation. CREOSOTE AND CHIMNEY FIRES Wood combustion is never perfectly complete. Wood smoke almost always contains some unburned gases and a fog of unburned tar-like liquids. Some of these materials will condense out of the flue gases onto any surface which is not too hot.

and double barrel stoves) are more likely to have chimney creosote problems precisely because they do such a good job extracting heat from the flue gases. Generally creosote is inevitable and must be lived with. Any kind of chimney deposit decreases the system’s heating efficiency.

The NEWMAC COMBINATION OIL AND WOOD FURNACE toasts the wood to charcoal and the charcoal burns to dust leaving a minute amount of residue. From the above heat values, it can be seen that a cord or Hickory wood is equivalent to $ 248.22 (@ 30.0 cents litre) worth of oil, over twice as much as you would...
