INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
COMBUSTION AIR
Ensure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling (range hoods,
dryers, etc.). In air tight homes and modern constructions, careful considerations must be taken into account
when using a wood burning appliance. Heat recovery ventilators (HRV) systems along with constant running
pan motors in air handlers must be taken into account when balancing the system. Failure to do so may result in
air starvation, smoke spillage and carbon monoxide threats. Consult a HVAC specialist for proper installation.
Ensure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling (range hoods,
dryers, etc.). In airtight houses it is recommended to install a fresh air inlet into the room where the stove is
located, to prevent air starvation.
DRAFT
Dra in the chimney system is initiated by the air pressure dierence between the top and bottom of the
chimney. Heat generated within the rebox will rise and accelerate the dra in the chimney. Recommended
dra is .05 in. w.c. operated on high. Too little dra results in a sluggish re and smoke spillage into the room
when the stove door is opened. Too much dra (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to operate the stove and will
void manufacturers warranty.
ROLE OF THE CHIMNEY
Without a proper installed chimney, this appliance will not burn correctly.
e role of the chimney is to pull the proper amount of air into the rebox for the purpose of complete
combustion. Incomplete combustion will lead to more smoke and pollution of the outside air. A proper
operating chimney will allow the user to enjoy peak performance at all burn operating levels from low to high.
Blaze King therefore recommends vertical installations with a minimum length of 15’ from stove top to chimney
cap. In all freestanding stove installations, use double wall stove pipe from the stove top to the ceiling support
box. e use of double wall stove pipe does allow for reduced clearances, however most importantly, it helps to
keep the chimney warm and improve dra.
For wall exits, the same suggestion applies. With the addition of the recommendation to use two 45 degree
elbows rather than a single 90 degree elbow. e use of two 45 degree elbows will allow for both a smoother
transition to the exterior chimney and will also shorten the horizontal run to the outside chimney. A minimum
36” rise is recommended prior to any elbows being used. When possible, outside chimney systems should be
isolated from direct exposure to winter weather by building a chase around the chimney, observing all clearances
as specied by the venting manufacturer. Doing so will help to keep the chimney warmer and improve dra.

OM-BRII90 E V1.03 wo739 July 14, 2015
Page 14 BRII/90
VENTING SYSTEMS
e venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. ese get extremely hot during use.
Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote re. To protect against the
possibility of a house re, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. A
listed thimble must be used when a connection is made through a combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney
support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a listed prefabricated chimney.
ese accessories are absolutely necessary to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material.
is stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed factory built chimney suitable for use with
solid fuels and conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or UL-103HT in the USA. Do not connect it to a chimney
serving another appliance. To do so will aect the safe operation of both appliances, and will void the stove
warranty. You must comply with the local authority having jurisdiction and/or in Canada, CSA installation
standard B365-M87.
e chimney connector must be 8” diameter, 24 MSG Black/Blue steel. Do not use aluminum or galvanized
steel. ey cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood re. e chimney connector between
the stove and the chimney should be as short and direct as possible.
e chimney connector must be attached to either an approved masonry chimney or one of the listed factory
built chimneys suitable for use with solid wood fuel. All joints must be tight and fastened with sheet metal
screws.
THE CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE STOVE
AND CEILING / WALL. NEVER USE A CHIMNEY CONNECTOR TO PASS THROUGH AN ATTIC
OR ROOF SPACE, CLOSET OR SIMILAR CONCEALED SPACE, OR A FLOOR, OR CEILING. AN
EFFECTIVE VAPOR BARRIER MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THE LOCATION WHERE THE CHIMNEY
OR COMPONENT PENETRATES TO THE EXTERIOR OF THE STRUCTURE. ALWAYS MAINTAIN
THE MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS REQUIRED BY THE APPLICABLE BUILDING
CODES.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
CONNECTION TO A METAL PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY
When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed
precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package or wall
pass through and “T” section package, re stops (when needed), insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap,
etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer. is clearance is
usually a minimum of 2 inches, although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain components.
ere are basically two methods of metal chimney installation. One method is to install the chimney inside the
residence through the ceiling(s) and the roof. e other method is to install an exterior chimney that runs up
the outside of the residence (not recommended). If it is necessary to run the chimney outside, build an outside
chase around the chimney.
e chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper dra
operation. e requirement is that the chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point where it
passes through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than
the highest part of the roof or structure that is within
10 feet of the chimney, measured horizontally (Fig. 1).
e height requirement is necessary in the interest of
safety and does not necessarily assure proper ue dra.
Use a minimum total system height of 15 feet, measured
from the stove ue collar to the top of the chimney, not
including the chimney cap.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS cont.
CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
Masonry chimney***
Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards
(NFPA) by having it inspected by a professional. Make sure there are
no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage.
Have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry
chimney, special methods are needed.
In Canada, the wall cut away is to provide 18” clearance for the
connector. e resulting space must remain empty. A ush mounted
sheet metal cover may be used on one side only. If covers are to be
used on both sides, each cover must be mounted on noncombustible
spacers at least 1” clear of the wall.
***Blaze King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner,
preferably insulated, inside a masonry chimney. is to maintain
proper dra and overall better operation of the unit.
Your local dealer or local jurisdiction can provide details of
approved methods of passing a chimney connector through
a combustible wall in your area. In USA, the National Fire
Protection Association has minimum standards to comply
with. In Canada , this type of installation must conform to
CAN/CSA-B365, Installation Code for Solid Fuel Burning
Appliances and Equipment.

When a metal prefabricated chimney is used, the manufacturer’s installation instructions must be followed
precisely. You must also purchase (from the same manufacturer) and install the ceiling support package, re
stops (when needed), insulation shield, roof ashing, chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the
structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
Chimney connector must be double wall close clearance type with either ULC629 or ULCS610 designation.
Single wall pipe is not allowed in Mobile Homes or in Alcove Installations. Insulated chimney components
must be a listed factory built chimney suitable for use with solid fuels and conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or
UL-103HT in the USA. For Mobile home, the chimney needs to be removable to allow for transportation of the
mobile home.
DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM. THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE
HOME FLOOR, WALL AND CEILING / ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED.
In mobile home installations the stove must be
securely fastened to the oor using the lag bolts
provided in the outside air kit:
1. Position the stove on the oor protector so that
the minimum clearances are met.
2. Remove the back pedestal cover.
3. Drill down through the holes in the base of the
stove, penetrating both the oor protector and
the oor of the home.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR FIRST FIRE!
e following pages contain information on the major components and operation of your heater. Please take
time to read about them as it will give you a better understanding of how your stove works. is understanding
will help you to operate your stove properly thus will extend the life of your stove and allow you to get the
highest eciencies from your heater.
SELECTING WOOD
• THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN
TREATED WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLORED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR
GARBAGE.
• HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS WILL GENERALLY RESULT WHEN
BURNING AIR DRIED SEASONED WOODS, AS COMPARED TO WET, GREEN OR
FRESHLY CUT WOODS.
• BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE
ACCUMULATION. WHEN IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT
IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
Use dry seasoned wood, split and stacked and protected from rain for at least 24 months with a moisture content
of 20% or lower. It takes a great deal of energy to evaporate the moisture contained in green wood and that
energy will not be heating your house. Also, green or wet wood will greatly increase creosote problems. e
only accurate method to determine moisture content in wood is to use a moisture meter.
Never burn salt-water driwood. It is very corrosive and will damage the rebox. Burning salty wood also voids
the warranty.
is controlled combustion rebox has been designed for high eciency and long burn times. e proper time
to add more wood is when the last charge has been reduced to a glowing charcoal bed. ere will be very little
smoke at this stage in the burn cycle.
Both hardwood and sowood burn equally well in this appliance but hardwood, which is more dense, will weigh
more per cord and burn a little slower and longer.
Firewood should be split and stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to
be ready for burning that fall.
The only accurate way to determine wood moisture is to purchase a moisture meter.
• NEVER START A FIRE UNLESS ALL BRICKS ARE CORRECTLY PLACED INSIDE THE
FIREBOX. CHECK THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
