    B. Negative pressure in the house As the fire burns, air goes up the chimney. This air must be replaced through the outside air duct. When operating the BIS TRADITION, open a nearby window temporarily to check if there is adequate air supply replacement.

  • Page 17: Maintaining Your Bis Tradition

    MAINTAINING YOUR BIS TRADITION 3.3.1 Creosote When wood is burned slowly without a flame, it produces tar and other organic vapours which combine with expelled moisture to form a black deposit called creosote which accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. If the creosote accumulation is large, a creosote fire in the chimney can damage the chimney and overheat the surrounding wood framing.

    To install the new refractory bricks, follow the above steps in reverse. 3.3.7 Door Installation The doors must be put in place only when the installation of the BIS TRADITION completed.
