COMBUSTION AIR
Insure 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, this to prevent air starvation.
DRAFT
Draft is created by the heated air rising in the chimney system. This draft will pull fresh combustion air
into the firebox. Recommended draft is .05 in. w.c at high fire. Too little draft results in a sluggish fire
and smoking when the stove door is opened. Too much draft (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to
operate the stove. Use a barometric control or key damper if necessary to avoid excessive draft.
VENTING SYSTEMS
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during
use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote fire. To
protect against the possibility of a house fire, 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. These accessories are absolutely necessary to
provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material.
This 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 affect 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.
Blaze King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner, preferably insulated, inside a
masonry chimney. This to maintain proper draft and better working of the unit.
The chimney connector must be 6” diameter, 24/26 MSG Black/Blue steel. Do not use aluminum or
galvanized steel. They cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. The
chimney connector between the stove and the chimney should be as short and direct as possible.
Blaze King recommends the use of double wall pipe and two 45° elbows instead of a single 90° elbow.
A minimum 36” rise is recommended prior to any elbows being used.
The 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.
WARNING: 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. Always maintain the minimum clearances to
combustibles as required by the applicable building codes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - VENTING

Version 1.03
April 2011
Chinook CBT Page 16
G:\pubdata\Manuals\English Manuals\OM-CK24 OM CK24C/CK24F
Chimney connector sections must be attached to the
stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the
stove (Fig. 8). This allows creosote to run into the stove
and not onto the outside of the pipe. All joints should be
secured with three metal screws. Otherwise, in the
event of a creosote fire, the connection may vibrate
apart. Horizontal lengths of chimney connector should
have an upward slope from the stove of 1/4 inch per
foot.
CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
Should the stove be connected to a masonry chimney, the chimney should be examined for cracks, loose
mortar, other signs of deterioration, and blockage. The stove should not be installed until it is determined
that the chimney is safe for use. Since an oversized flue contributes to the accumulation of creosote, the
size of the flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. For this stove it is
recommended that the flue size should not exceed the overall area of a 6” flue (28.3 square inches). Blaze
King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner, preferably insulated, inside a masonry
chimney. This to maintain proper draft and better operation of the unit.
The chimney should also be checked to assure it meets the minimum standards of the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211. Following is a list of the more critical minimum requirements
for a properly constructed chimney.
1. The masonry wall of the chimney, if brick or modular block, must be a minimum of 4 inches nominal
thickness. A mountain or rubble stone wall must be at least 12 inches thick.
2. The chimney must have a fire clay flue liner (or equivalent) with a minimum thickness of 5/8 inch and
must be installed with refractory mortar. There must be at least 1/2-inch air space between the flue liner
and the chimney wall (Fig. 9). An equivalent liner might be a listed chimney liner system or other
approved material.
3. A chimney inside the house must have at least 2 inches of clearance to the combustible structure. A
chimney outside the house must have at least one-inch clearance to the combustible structure. Fire
stops must be installed at the spaces where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling (Fig. 10).
Remember that insulation must not contact the chimney. There must be air space around the chimney.
Insulation must be 2 inches or more from the chimney (Fig. 11).
4. A chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper draft
operation. The 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. 12).

THIMBLE
A thimble must be used when the connection from the stove is made
through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney. There are several
methods to use for connection through a combustible wall, two of which
are illustrated in this manual. Local building authorities may be consulted
or NFPA 211 may be used for additional methods of chimney
connection.
Also, listed prefabricated metal thimbles may be purchased for use with
wood stoves. The manufacturer's installation instructions for the thimbles
must be strictly followed to assure the safety of the system. Be sure to
maintain the designated clearance to combustible materials.
BRICK CHIMNEY THIMBLE ASSEMBLY
Construction of the brick thimble assembly requires 12 inches of
brick around a fire clay liner. Be sure the point of penetration
allows an 18 inch clearance from the connector to the ceiling. An
appropriate opening for a chimney connector must be cut in the
wall to maintain the required 12 inches of brick separation from
combustibles. It will be necessary to cut wall studs and install a
header and sill frame to maintain proper dimensions and to hold
the weight of the brick (Fig. 13). NOTE: Whenever cutting
through a wall, check first with local building authorities to be
sure building integrity is maintained. Minimum 3 1/2-inch (4-inch
nominal) thick solid bricks are to be used. The fire clay liner
(ASTM C35 or equivalent), minimum 5/8 inch wall thickness,
must not penetrate into the chimney beyond the inner surface of
the chimney flue liner and must be firmly cemented in place. If it
is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care
to keep it from shattering. Refractory mortar must be used at the
junction to the chimney liner (Fig. 14). After the assembly is
complete, insert the chimney connector in the fire clay liner. Do
not push it beyond the inside edge of the chimney liner because
this will affect the draw of the chimney.

PREFABRICATED CHIMNEY WITH METAL CHIMNEY SUPPORT AS THIMBLE
For the method of installation to a masonry chimney, it will be necessary to purchase a 12-inch long
section of prefabricated listed chimney to use as a thimble. Purchase a wall spacer, trim collar and wall
band that are manufactured to fit the chimney section you purchase.
The safety features of this system are: the 2-inch air space between the chimney section and
combustible wall, and the 1-inch air space around the chimney connector as it passes through the
chimney section to the chimney.
The location of the opening through the wall to the chimney must leave a minimum 18 inch vertical
clearance between the chimney connector and the ceiling to prevent the ceiling from catching fire.
For instructions on installation of the thimble, refer to chimney manufacturer's instructions.
If an exterior masonry chimney is
used you may have draft problems
due to the chimney being too cold.
Exterior masonry chimney’s
should be lined with a listed
(insulated) stainless steel liner for
better operation of these units.

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, fire stops (when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,
chimney cap, etc. Maintain the proper clearance to the structure as recommended by the manufacturer.
This clearance is usually a minimum of 2 inches, although it may vary by manufacturer or for certain
components.
There 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. The 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.
The chimney must be the required height above the roof or other obstruction for safety and for proper draft
operation. The 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. 12). The height requirement is necessary in the
interest of safety and does not necessarily assure proper flue draft. Use a minimum total system height of
12 feet, measured from the stove flue collar to the top of the chimney, not including the chimney cap.
THIMBLE
When a wall exit installation is used, a listed assembly thimble must be installed. In a roof exit installation,
the ceiling support box supplied with the manufactured chimney acts as a thimble.
REMEMBER: Follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and maintain the manufacturer's
specified clearance distances.
Install an attic insulation shield to maintain the specified clearance to insulation. Insulation in this air space
