Installation Guide - Heatmaster MF-3000 Owner's Manual

MF Series
Chimney
The chimney on your HeatMaster SS outdoor furnace is a stainless steel double wall insulated
chimney. It is attached to the furnace with a stainless steel adapter. The draft on the chimney is
typically 0.05-0.1"W.C.. To install chimney extensions be sure to purchase the same chimney as on
your furnace (Selkirk Ultra Temp). These chimneys are a twist lock connect chimney. Be sure to use
the chimney fastening ring to fasten the connection tight. Braces, elbow kits and roof flashing kits are
available through your dealer. It is not recommended that the chimney be longer than 15ft.
The chimney and flue pipe need to be kept clean and in good condition. See below for chimney
sizes.
MF-3000 - 6" Stainless Steel Double Wall Chimney and Adapter
MF-5,000 and MF-5000e– 6" Stainless Steel Double Wall Chimney and Adapter
MF-10,000e – 8" Stainless Steel Double Wall Chimney and Adapter
MF-20,000e – 10" Stainless Steel Double Wall Chimney and Adapter
NOTE: Chimney extensions and caps are useful for lifting exhaust gases and smoke away from
buildings. However, when burning a MF-5000e, MF-10000e or MF-20000e keep in mind that the
cooler exhaust temperatures as a result of the high efficiency burn of these furnaces may cause
excess creosote build up when chimney extensions and caps are used. This can lead to improper
burning and creosote build up in the furnace.
Maintain adequate clearance of buildings and combustibles. They are 0 inches from the sides of the
furnaces and 3 feet from the front and back. Pile and store wood outdoors under cover. Do not place
or store wood within stove installation clearances or within the space required for charging and ash
removal. Contact all governing authorities in your area prior to installation.
When choosing the location of your furnace you should consider prevailing wind direction, distance
from home for refueling and wood storage and give consideration for any effect on your neighbors.
Inspect the ground conditions that you intend to install your furnace on. If the area is unstable or has
a history of staying wet you may have to improve the soil with gravel as well as raise the level of
furnace placement. A cement pad of 4-6" in thickness should be used. The furnace in most cases
can be placed on 4 cement blocks not less than 6" wide X 10" long and 3" thick. The furnace should
never be installed on a combustible floor.
Find the footprint of the furnace you have purchased in the Appendix of this manual and place
your blocks so the legs will stand on the center of the blocks. Cement pads should be a little bigger
than the actual furnace, with about a 4' extra length front and back so you have a solid working area.
