Drafting Performance
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance and may damage the heater. Inadequate draft
may cause backpuffing into the room and `plugging' of the chimney. Inadequate draft will cause the appliance
to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints. An uncontrollable burn or
excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
