Consider two primary
connecting your stove to a masonry chimney:
the chimney itself and the thimble where the
stovepipe connects to the chimney. Use only
Code approved masonry chimneys with a flue
liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks,
loose mortar, other signs of deterioration, and
blockage. If the chimney needs repairs,
complete them before installing and using your
stove. Do not install your stove until the
chimney is pronounced safe for use.
Make sure the chimney's cleanout is complete
and working properly. To avoid a loss of draft,
ensure the cleanout closes tightly.
Make sure the size of the chimney's flue is
appropriate for this stove, and that it is not too
large. Use a masonry chimney with an 8" x 8"
(203 mm x 203 mm) maximum tile size for best
results. An oversized flue will contribute to the
accumulation of creosote.
Use the following checklist to ensure that your
