Page 9: Locating Your Stove
A. LOCATING YOUR STOVE. When locating your stove, consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector. For safety, and to avoid drafts, avoid locations close to an exit. Your stove should be located away from doors and hallways, and in an open area to allow for necessary clearance. (Review Figures 8:1 and 8:2 for MINIMUM clearances.] MINIMUM CLEARANCES SHOWN IN FIGURES 8:1 and 8:2 ARE TO PREVENT WALLS AND CEILINGS FROM CATCHING FIRE. -

B. VENTING SYSTEM. The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney, these get extremely hot during use. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. A thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. -

A.2 The Barometric Damper The draft in the chimney will change depending on how cold it is outdoors, the burn rate of the stove, and wind conditions.

in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appliance; inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and "plugging" of the chimney.
