or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. Round flues
are the most efficient. The interior diameter of the chimney
flue must be identical to the stove smoke exhaust. A flue
which is too small may cause draft problems, while a large
flue favors rapid cooling of the gas, and hence the build-
up of creosote and the risk of chimney fires. Note that it
is the chimney and not the stove which creates the draft
effect; your stove's performance is directly dependent on an
adequate draft from your chimney. DO NOT CONNECT THIS
UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
The following recommendations may be useful for the
installation of your chimney:
1. It must rise above the roof at least 3' (0.9m) from the
uppermost point of contact.
2. The chimney must exceed any part of the building or
other obstruction within a 10' (3.04m) distance by a
height of 2' (0.6m).
3. The installation of an interior chimney is always
preferable to an exterior chimney. Indeed, the interior
chimney will, by definition, be hotter than an exterior
chimney, being heated up by the ambient air in the
house. Therefore the gas which circulates will cool
more slowly, thus reducing the build-up of creosote and
the risk of chimney fires.
4. The draft caused by the tendency for hot air to rise will
be increased with an interior chimney.
5. Using a fire screen at the extremity of the chimney
requires regular inspection to ensure that it is not
obstructed thus blocking the draft, and it should be
cleaned when used regularly.
FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the
manufacturer's installation instructions must be followed.
You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and
install the ceiling support package or wall pass-through
and "T" section package, firestops (where needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain
proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the
manufacturer. The chimney must be the required height
above the roof or other obstructions for safety and proper
draft operation.
