D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in Figure 26.1 the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the build-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, espe-
cially during lighting and die down of the fire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
