Sight-in and mark the outline of where the EXCEL chimney will penetrate the masonry chimney. 2. Using a large (3/4”-2”) masonry drill bit, drill a hole exactly in the center of the oval outline. With a masonry hammer and drill, slowly enlarge the hole to the size required.

Page 18: Use And Safety
DO NOT OVERHEAT 8. Use the Andiron made by VALCOURT Burn only the quantity of combustible it can contain. Do not burn garbage, painted wood or wood that has been exposed to salt water. 9. Always have minimum of 1” accumulation of ashes at the bottom of the fireplace. -
Page 19: Creosote
CREOSOTE When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors which combine with humidity to produce creosote. Creosote vapor condenses in the chimney left relatively cool by the slow fire and coats the inside of the flue with residue. When creosote ignites, it produces a red-hot, extremely dangerous fire. It is therefore recommended to make small, brightly burning fires rather than lazy, smoldering fires. -
