- Page 8 Ventilation CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a factory built or masonry chimney, matching the diameter of the stove exhaust. If you are using a factory built chimney, it must comply with UL 103 or CSA-B365 standard; therefore it must be a Type HT (2100°F). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
- Page 9 Ventilation MASONRY CHIMNEY Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated. When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed as explained in the “5.5 Combustible Wall Chimney Connector Pass-Throughs”...

Page 13: Do Not Burn

Page 14: Testing Your Wood
Woodstove Utilization CAUTIONS: • Ashes could contain hot embers even after two days without operating the stove. • The ash pan can become very hot. Wear gloves to prevent injury. • Never burn the stove with the stove door or ash clean out opening unsealed . This would result in over firing the stove. -
Page 15: Operation
Woodstove Utilization The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efficiently the combustion process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specific unit to produce the smallest amount of visible smoke. -
Page 16: Ash Disposal
Woodstove Utilization Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal when wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. -
Page 17: Maintenance
Maintenance Your wood stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions. -
