The new, low-emission wood stoves, like the Archgard Chalet 1800 burn the wood so completely that, when oper- ated properly, their chimneys normally need cleaning only once a year.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE It is very important to carefully maintain your Chalet 1800 stove, including burning seasoned wood and main- taining a clean stove and chimney system. Have the chimney cleaned before the burning season and as nec- essary during the season, as creosote deposits may build up rapidly. Moving parts of your stove require no lubrication.
