HIMNEY FFSET NSTALLATION NOTE: If you intend to have a total fireplace installation of more than 30 feet, you must use a chimney support at or below 30 feet to support the weight of additional chimney pipe. If it is impossible to nail the chimney support to the load bearing framing of the builing at the 30 foot level, the chimney support may be installed at a lower level if the height of the chimney above the support does not exceed 30 feet.

IREPLACE PERATION VS. F OSSIL UELS Compared to fossil fuels, a full cord of dry hickory weighs about two tons and is approximately equal in heating value to a ton of hard coal. On a pound basis, heavy hardwoods have about half the heating value of coal. The tabulation shows the relative densities and heat values of a variety of dry woods.
Make sure the chimney is clear from any accumulation of soot, creosote or any other debris, and that all joints are intact. Monessen Hearth Systems does not recommend chemical cleaners because some may contain elements that corrode the metal parts of the chimney or fireplace.

This is normal and unavoidable. If the cracks become large enough or parts dislodge and metal behind the refractory is exposed, the refractory panels should be replaced with new panels that can be obtained from your Monessen Hearth Systems fireplace dealer. See Figure 34. LASS AINTENANCE For glass door maintenance, see instructions provided with the glass doors.
