Combustion air intake

In conventional designed homes, natural ventilation is enough
to operate the wood stove efficiently.
Some houses are more airtight than others. If you do not have
outdoor air intake system, it is necessary to open a window
slightly in the room where you have your cook stove.
CUISINIERE IS NOT APPROVED FOR MOBILE HOME.
A mobile home on a foundation is considered as a
conventional house.

Exterior Air Intake pipe

CUISINIERE is not approved for mobile home. It is built,
however, to receive an exterior air intake pipe. An air intake kit
must be factory installed. We recommend to use a 4 inch
(10.16 cm) aluminum flexible pipe, equipped with a
weatherproof hood with screen.
For the usage of pipes made of other materials, they must be
complied with ULC-S110 or UL-181 Class1, equipped with
thermal resistant isolation and must be corrosion resistant.

Installation of Air Intake Pipe

To install the exterior air intake pipe, fold the 3 legs of air inlet
at the back of the stove. On the other side of the heat shield
opening, insert the pipe into the hole and screw the pipe using
the 3 holes in the tabs. Put a generous layer of high
temperature latex caulking onto the joint to ensure the pipe is
sealed.

Air Inlet Obstruction

If the fire in the stove goes out after closing the door, it's
possible that the air inlet is obstructed by something.
In summer, insects or animals can build a nest into the air inlet.
In winter, snow can accumulate over the air inlet and obstruct
it.
The valve of the air intake might be closed as well.
