If the chimney condition is questionable* you may want to install a liner as in method #7. In some places in the US and Canada it is required that the vent pipe extend all the way to the top of the chimney. *The chimney should be inspected and cleaned before installing your stove. If you discover that the chimney does not have a clay tile liner or has cracks or flaking of the tile liner you will need to install a stainless steel liner within the chimney. In most cases the inside diameter of this liner should be 4". Either flexible or rigid liner may be used for this purpose. Refer to Method 6 & 7.

    Whenever wood is burned slowly, the potential exists for creosote to form in the venting. The chimney or venting system should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accumulated (3mm or more), it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. A professional chimney sweep is recommended, since they would normally have the correct equipment to ensure proper creosote removal. If you experience a fire in the venting system, turn the stove to "OFF" to allow the unit to shut down. Call the fire department, and be sure everyone is out of the residence. Before re-using the appliance, have it, and the venting system thoroughly inspected and replace any damaged components.
