Page 6: Installation Of Your Drolet Woodstove
Installation Of Your Drolet Woodstove Positioning The Stove It is very important to position the woodstove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. - Page 7 You may decrease these clearances by installing heat radiation shields between the walls or the ceiling and the stove. These heat radiation shields must be installed permanently, and can include sheet metal, a rigid non-combustible sheet or a masonry wall. Following the installation of such a heat radiation shield, the clearances mentioned on the stove certification plate may be reduced as stated in the following table.

Page 8: Chimney
Chimney Your woodstove may be hooked up with a prefabricated or masonry chimney. If you are using a prefab chimney, it must comply with ULC S629 standards; therefore it must be of the 2100 °F / 650 °C. (2" / 51 mm thick insulated type). It is extremely important to install the chimney according to the manufacturer's specifications. -
Page 9: Couplings
Couplings Once the woodstove is placed in the room in accordance with required clearances, it must be coupled to the chimney with a smoke exhaust system. Verify the clearance between your stovepipe and the surrounding combustible surfaces. If the normal 18-inch (457 mm) clearance required cannot be obtained, you may use an insulated flue pipe or a thermal protection shield. -

Ignition The installation of a log cradle is NOT RECOMMENDED in your DROLET woodstove.

Place 8 to 10 pieces of small dry kindling wood over the paper in the form of a tent. -
Page 13: Heating
Heating Once you have obtained a good bed of embers you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air controls to maximum a few seconds prior to opening the stove door. Then proceed by opening the door very slowly; open it one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds, before opening it completely to increase the draught and thus eliminate the smoke which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion in the stove. -
Page 14: Maintenance Of The Heating System
Keep in mind that the most difficult months for wood heating are October and November. Indeed, during this period, the atmosphere is often very heavy and humid, and may hinder chimney draught. Moreover, the wood is often too damp, since it has not had a sufficient drying period, or it has been stored outside in the rain. -
Page 15: Maintenance Of The Chimney
Maintenance Of The Chimney Whether you have a prefab or masonry chimney, you must conduct a visual inspection at least once a month in order to be sure that it is in good shape and that there is no excessive creosote build-up. If there is the slightest crack, or undulation of the interior or exterior surface of the chimney, repairs or replacements of defective parts must be carried out without delay. -
