Types of Chimneys The chimney is a vital part of your woodstove installation. A properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed, fa tory built chimney will provide a consistent draft under a variety of weather conditions (a smoking woodstove is usually caused by a chimney problem).
Vapor Barrier at Chimney Penetration Install all venting components according to the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions. Ensure that there is an effe tive vapor barrier at the location where the chimney penetrates the exterior of the st ructure. This can be accomplished by applying a non-hardening, waterproof sealant to the following components: Around the chimney at the point where the storm collar will meet the chimney, just above the flashing.

Be sure to open the doors slowly to avoid a possible flame-up. Close the doors after you have added the wood. If the fire was almost burned out before you added more wood, keep the draft controls in a fully open position for approx.

Is the door from another fireplace that is connected to the same chimney, open? Woodstove does not give off enough heat Is the room too large? Are there too many ashes on the grate? Is the ash pan full?
