Page 9: Installation Preparation
LOCATING CHIMNEY • Survey the planned location for the fireplace for overhead plumbing or electrical wires, etc. This could make installation harder. It could also be a hazard for persons installing or cleaning the chimney. • Do not install where the chimney cap will be near abrupt changes in the roof shape, nearby wall or embankments, under or near trees or above the roof of a single story wing of a two story building. - Page 10 INSTALLATION PREPARATION LOCATING CHIMNEY (CONTINUED) • If the fireplace is to be installed on an outside wall, the surrounding walls (chase) must be constructed and insulated. See Figure 5. If you do not insulate the fireplace from outside temperatures, heat loss through and around the fireplace will occur.

FIREPLACE OPERATION Fireplace damper must be fully opened when using a gas appliance. ADVANTAGES OF A WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE These are practical and ecological advantages of using wood as a fuel. Also to be considered is the aesthetic appeal. Most of us consider a wood fire with nostalgia. -
Page 35: Wood Vs. Fossil Fuels
WOOD VS. FOSSIL FUELS Compared to fossil fuels, a full cord of dry hickory weighs about two tons and is approximately equal in heating value to a ton of hard coal. On a per pound basis, heavy hardwoods have about half the heating value of coal. The table below shows the relative densities and heat values of a variety of dry woods. -
Page 36: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE FUEL STORAGE Wood can be dried sufficiently for burning within a few weeks if protected form rain in a low humidity area. It is better to cut wood and allow it to dry for a year. In all cases, the wood should be stacked so that both ends of the sticks are exposed to the air and protected from rain. -
