The Fire Chief OS2200D is an airtight central solid fuel outdoor furnace engineered
to provide the most viable solution to the ongoing problem of homeowner utility depen-
dence. The OS2200D is designed to accommodate the heating requirements of the
average sized home, even during winter’s coldest months. Constructed of high grade,
heavy gauge steel and is continually welded to assure the utmost in structural strength.
The insulated 11 cubic foot firebox will accommodate a log up to 32” length. In addition,
the heat exchanger is lined with firebrick to ensure many years of energy efficient ser-
vice. The design of the secondary combustion chamber increases fuel efficiency by cre-
ating a “secondary burn” of smoke and wood gases before they are vented up the chim-
ney. By sending the gases back through the secondary combustion chamber less fuel is
wasted, the furnace burns at a higher efficiency and for longer burn times.
The cast iron door is custom fitted to provide an air tight seal, greatly extending
the burn time and insuring maximum efficiency in fuel consumption. The heavy duty
cast iron grates aid in convenient ash removal and reduces maintenance; the insulated
wrap around sides are designed for maximum heat transfer. The weather-resistant ser-
vice door offers protection for the fuel and ash door from the elements.
For total comfort and convenience, we added a thermostatically controlled 1800
cfm. circulation blower system. The blower draws the cold air from the home, across the
heat chamber before going through the hot air duct and returning the warmed air to your
home. This fully automatic blower furnishes rapid heat disbursement to your home,
minimizing recovery time. Average burn time per load of fuel is six to twelve hours
depending on wood type and condition, desired temperature within the home and amount
of fuel. We have incorporated all of these features as standard equipment, offering you
the most efficient, durable and affordable appliance possible. Abnormally cold weather
could reduce the burn time.
The FCOS2200D is a wood burning furnace - it can not be turned “off and on” to
control the furnace temperature like gas or electric furnaces. Once the fire is established,
it has to burn, until it burns itself out.

Before beginning your installation, consult with local authorities regarding the
codes governing all such installations. DO NOT connect your Fire Chief OS2200D Wood
Furnace to any flue that services ANY other appliance.
Your Fire Chief OS2200D must be placed outdoors on a level, non-combustible
base, preferably a 4’ X 8’ concrete pad, as close to the home as clearances to combus-
tibles permit - do not place the furnace more than 40’ from the house. The furnace must
be connected to a grounded electrical circuit with access to a backup generator (2000
watt minimum). If locating the furnace more than 10’ (ten feet) from the home, a
minimum of 6’ (six feet) of Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6” Chimney Pipe is required.
Maintain the following clearances - Sides of furnace, 12”; Rear of furnace,
12”; Front of furnace, 36”; Heat Duct, 6” for the first 16” from the rear of the furnace and
3” thereafter. Maintain the “10/2 Rule” for the flue - the flue must be 2’ (two feet)
higher than any part of the building or peak of the roof within a horizontal distance of 10’
(ten feet). The 2 ft. height does not include the cap. REFER TO PAGE 6 FOR COM-
PLETE INSTRUCTIONS.
Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6” Chimney Pipe is recommended for optimum perfor-
mance and must maintain a 2” clearance from combustibles. The OS2200D ships with a
SuperPro2100/Super Max™ six inch adaptor plate attached to the top of the furnace for
your convenience as well as brackets to attach guy wires to the four corners of the
furnace to secure your chimney system.
Always secure chimney with guy wires. SuperPro/SuperMax™ Chimney Pipe is
readily available from your Fire Chief dealer. Attach the appropriate chimney pipe lengths
to the adaptor, finishing with the rain cap. Your furnace requires its own chimney system
and can not share a flue with any other product. If using chimney pipe other than
SuperPro/SuperMax, the 6” adaptor will have to be replaced in order to fit the chimney
pipe you are using. Contact your dealer for details.
If you choose to use single wall stainless, the flue temperature will be reduced
which promotes the formation of creosote, possibly creating a fire hazard. If you use
single wall stainless pipe, minimum clearance is 18” from combustibles.
DO NOT use Galvanized or Black Pipe to vent your furnace.
Once you have met local requirements governing the installation and positioning
of the furnace, install the Electrical Control Kit. Open the Electrical Control Kit and
confirm that all items were shipped with your OS2200D. Install the Electrical Control
Kit. REFER TO PAGE 8 FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.
After installing the chimney and Electrical Control Kit, you are ready for the initial
firing of your OS2200D. DO NOT connect the furnace to your duct work at this
time. Build a small fire - DO NOT fill the firebox to full capacity during the initial
firing. Your new furnace has a protective coating of oil or paint on the surface which
could produce smoke or odors during the initial firing and will burn off. Allow adequate
ventilation during this initial break-in firing to let any odors escape. This initial firing
allows the metals to cure. After successfully completing the initial firing, you are ready
to attach the flexible hot air duct and cold air return to complete your installation. REFER
TO PAGE 9 FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS.
GENERAL INFORMATION, cont.

You must install the wall thermostat for the furnace to operate. When the wall
thermostat calls for heat, the butterfly damper in the natural draft tube opens, allowing
combustion air to flow into the firebox. This causes a hotter fire increasing the heat in
the heat chamber. When the home reaches the selected temperature on the wall ther-
mostat, it will cause the butterfly damper in the natural draft tube to close and the fire in
the firebox will reduce to a low burn until the thermostat calls for another heat cycle.
The fan limit control is factory pre-set at 170° as the “ON” temperature setting and 110°
as the “OFF” temperature setting. This means when the heat chamber reaches 170°,
the blower will turn “ON”; when the chamber cools to 110°, the blower will turn “OFF”.
This process is called a heating cycle.
By-Pass Damper:
The By-pass damper has several purposes; starting the fire, improving the effi-
ciency and cleaning the chimney. When starting a fire in your OS2200D, you must pull
the rod out, for a stronger draft during ignition. Once the fire has started, close the by-
pass damper, which allows the secondary combustion chamber to engage increasing the
furnace’s operation to peak efficiency. If the bypass rod is not closed during operation,
the furnace’s efficiency will be greatly reduced allowing the heat to escape up the chim-
ney. Finally, when cleaning the chimney, the rod must be pulled out to allow any build-up
in the chimney to fall into the firebox.
Furnace Chimney Location: Requires Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6” Chimney
The furnace requires a minimum of 6’ (six feet) of chimney. When positioning the
furnace maintain the “10/2 Rule” for the chimney - In order to determine proper
chimney height above the roof, measure from the side of the chimney horizontally. As
you move up the chimney, the length of the measurement increases. Once this mea-
surement reaches 10 feet, this height on the chimney is your base height. The chimney
must be 2 feet taller than the base height. If the chimney is closer than 10 feet from the
peak of the roof, the chimney must be 2 feet higher than the peak of the roof. The 2 feet
above the base height does not include the cap. The furnace must be placed on a level,
non-combustible surface or 4’ X 8’ concrete pad. See Diagram below.

GENERAL INFORMATION, cont.
NOTE: When positioning the
furnace - the roof is not level.
The roof of the furnace
slopes to the rear, approxi-
mately 1/2”, to allow for rain/
snow run-off.

GENERAL INFORMATION, cont.
Always keep your wood covered year round.
Dry wood will produce more Btu output
and a longer burn time.
Wood Storage: Keep wood covered at all times.
We can not over emphasize the importance of keeping your wood supply cov-
ered at all times. Wood stored/stacked, uncovered, exposed to rain and snow has a
higher moisture content, causing the formation of creosote, it smokes, takes longer to
ignite and produces poorer fires with lower sustained BTU output. Unseasoned wood
ends up costing more in time trying to achieve and maintain proper temperatures in the
firebox while using more wood with less heat output. Covering the woodpile will keep it
dry and offer you the hottest fires with the greatest BTU output. If you store the wood
near your furnace, be sure to maintain proper clearance from the furnace to prevent a
fire hazard. Remember, keeping your wood dry will produce hotter fires and
increased BTU output.
IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT INSTALLING AND OPERATING
YOUR FIRE CHIEF OS2200D
• ALWAYS consult local building inspectors for codes concerning the installation of your
furnace.
• ALWAYS have access to a backup generator, 2000 watt minimum.
• USE Class “A” HT 2100 All Fuel 6” Chimney for your Fire Chief OS2200D.
•NEVER use galvanized pipe in your flue connection.
• INSPECT the flue periodically for structural integrity.
• CLEAN the flue regularly to prevent creosote accumulation.
• NEVER use chemicals or gasoline to start or maintain your fire.
• NEVER burn garbage, oil, trash or gasoline in your furnace.
• NEVER leave the ash pan or fuel door open during operation.
•REMOVE ashes on a daily basis - before they reach the grates - to insure proper air
flow.
• NEVER use wet, unseasoned wood or wood exposed to a recent rainfall - doing so
causes a rapid accumulation of hazardous creosote, a proven cause of flue fires.
• NEVER burn plastics, wood products containing glue, paraffin or those treated with
chemical preservatives in your Fire Chief Furnace. The combustion of these substances
may release harmful, toxic gases.
• NEVER UNPLUG THE FURNACE FROM THE POWER SOURCE. THIS WILL
CAUSE THE FURNACE TO OVERHEAT. If it is too warm in the house do the follow-
ing: Lower the temperature on the thermostat; reduce the spin drafts to allow less
flow of air to the fire box; use less fuel (wood).
• NEVER leave the ash or fuel door open to attempt to regulate the fire - this will
overheat the furnace and void the warranty.

Hot Air Duct : Included with your OS2200D - 25’ of ten inch I.D. flexible insu-
lated hot air duct with 2 clamps, two 10” starter collars and one twelve inch
starter collar.
The 10” insulated flex hot air duct is for indoor use only. Outside the house,
you must use 10” galvanized pipe, wrapped with weatherproof UV-jacketed insulation
for protection from the sun’s UV rays. The 12” return air may be galvanized pipe. The
12” return air must be attached to the home so as not to pressurize the home.
NEVER reduce the 10” hot air or 12” return air as this will effect the air flow and the
furnace will not operate properly.
NEVER draw cold outside air into the blower housing - by doing so, the furnace’s heat
chamber will not reach the necessary temperature to heat the home.
The duct work should be designed so the external static pressure does not exceed
.02 water column inches while developing air velocities of 600 feet to 1,000 feet per
minute in the main trunk duct and 400 feet to 600 feet per minute at the registers. The
heat outlet should never be less than ten inches (10”) round or 79 square inches.
The Fire Chief OS2200D must be installed with a cold air return system.
The system must be a minimum of twelve inches (12”) to readily transfer the cold air
back to the furnace. If desired, a cold air filter box may be constructed with a minimum
opening of 225 square inches.
A basement window is an excellent location for running the hot air duct vent as
well as the vent for the cold air return. The cold air is an integral part of the system and
must be used when installing the furnace - failure to use the cold air return will pressurize
the home causing the furnace not to work properly. If a basement is not available, you
may access the home through a window, wall or crawl space for both the plenum and air
return.
Burying Duct Work: DO NOT BURY FLEXIBLE DUCT SUPPLIED WITH FURNACE.
To bury the duct work below ground, use schedule 40 or 80 PVC or black plastic
culvert pipe with smooth inner walls. Dig a trench to accommodate both the heat duct
and the return air duct. The trench must be a minimum of 24” deep. To further insure
efficiency, minimize heat loss and prevent moisture formation, line the trench with 1”
(one inch) pink styrofoam insulation sheeting on the sides and bottom of the trench. The
duct run should not exceed 40 feet If the run exceeds 40 feet, you run the risk of
reducing the furnace’s efficiency and air flow.
DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE HOT AIR DUCT INSIDE PVC OR CULVERT PIPE.
Always keep your wood covered year round.
Dry wood will produce more Btu output
and a longer burn time.
HOT AIR DUCT INSTALLATION

10
TYPES OF INSTALLATION
Central Duct Connections: Installation should be done by a qualified professional.
Maximum run 40’ - a duct run in excess of 40’ will greatly restrict the air flow and heat
output - therefore, is not recommended. When connecting the OS2200D to a central duct
system, avoid 90 degree elbows - as with any furnace, the more turns and branches in
the ducting the less air flow delivery. DO NOT USE FLEX DUCT OUTSIDE.
Run 10” insulated hot air duct from the outside furnace through a window or wall
of the house. Attach the insulated flexible hot air duct, furnished with the furnace,
to the central duct system of the home. Connect the duct with a 45° elbow or at an
angle so the hot air from the OS2200D is delivered down stream. This will insure proper
air flow into the duct system. Avoid delivering the hot air through the air conditioning
coil as this will cause an obstruction reducing the amount of heat output. Do not reduce
the size of the hot air duct. As with any furnace, the greater run, turns and branches
in the ducting the less air flow and heat output delivered. Use of 90° elbows is not
recommended.
The 12” cold air return duct must run to the house to prevent pressurization of the
home. Failure to connect the cold air return will cause the furnace not to operate. Never
reduce the size of the return. Reducing the size of the cold air return will restrict the
hot air flow and put excess pressure on the blower motor. You may terminate the cold air
return where you enter the house - this will provide adequate circulation within the home.
See diagram below.

THE 10” FLEX DUCT MUST NOT BE EXPOSED TO
THE OUTDOORS. IT IS FOR INDOOR USE ONLY.

11
Mobile Home Down Draft Furnace Connections: Installation should be done by a
qualified professional. Maximum run 40’ - a duct run in excess of 40’ will greatly
restrict the air flow / heat output and is not recommended. Both the hot air duct and
cold air return duct may be accessed through the floor in a mobile or modular home.
TYPES OF INSTALLATIONS, Continued
No Duct work Installation Connections: Installation should be done by a
qualified professional. Cold air return must be installed in all installations,
even those without duct work.
When there is no duct system to connect to the hot air flex duct, keep the
following in mind:
1. You must separate the hot air duct from the cold air return - ideally, locate
each at opposite ends of the home, if you do not the air will not flow evenly through-
out the home. This method will work well on homes built on concrete slabs and
create a good air flow.
2. In homes with a basement, you may run the hot air duct to the basement
and pull the cold air return from the main floor, this will create a perfect air flow,
since hot air rises. The cold air return must be connected, even if the home does
not have duct work - if you do not connect the cold air return, the furnace will not be
able to heat the home. See diagram below for homes with no duct work and a
basement.

In a mobile home, with a
down-draft furnace, do not attach
the hot air duct from the OS2200D
to the hot air plenum, doing so will
cause the heat to rise through the
central furnace instead of going
through the duct work. Split the
hot air supply of the OS2200D by
using a “Y” and install one branch
into each of the hot air ducts, be
sure both are pointing downstream.

OPERATION
Starting your first “real fire: Set the wall thermostat to 90°. Check to be certain the
spin drafts are wide open to allow oxygen into the firebox.
Place several crumpled newspapers on the grate with some dry kindling layered on
top of the papers, ignite the newspaper. When the kindling is burning, add several small
pieces of wood - allow the wood to fully engage in flames. After about 20 minutes the
fire should be established, allowing you to add more wood - do not overload and smother
the fire. Add more wood slowly so the flames have time to engulf the fresh wood. Once
the fire is burning and there is a glowing ember bed, adjust the drafts to achieve the
desired burn pattern. Learning how to adjust the drafts to maintain the desired tempera-
ture for your home may take a few days. After a short time you will know which settings
and adjustments work best for your home. Set the wall thermostat to the desired home
temperature. Over-firing by overloading/over-fueling the furnace causes the metal to
superheat and expand, then cool rapidly which causes cracking, therefore voiding the
warranty. Over-firing or abuse can easily be determined upon inspection.
Caution: NEVER use chemicals or gasoline to start or maintain your fire. Do not burn
oil, garbage, trash, plastic or any fuel other than wood in your furnace, doing so will void
the warranty.
Fuel Recommendations: MAXIMUM Log Size 32”; heat resistant gloves are rec-
ommended.
We advise using only dry, seasoned hardwoods in your Fire Chief OS2200D rather
than highly rosined woods such as pine. Firewood should be cut at least one full season
prior to the time of its intended used for optimum heat output. Firewood should be
stacked to provide a free flow of air between the logs, thus allowing more rapid season-
ing of the wood. If wood is stored outdoors, it should be completely covered year round
to protect it from moisture and exposure to the elements.
Use extreme caution when opening the doors during operation, temperatures can
exceed 300° - wait at least 10 (ten) seconds after releasing the first latch, then proceed
to the fully open position. The dual latch system has been incorporated as a safety
feature - designed to eliminate the possibility of gaseous ignition. Heat resistant gloves
are recommended when opening the fuel doors, regulating the spin draft or emptying the
ash pan.
Ash Removal: Heat resistant gloves are recommended.
Remove the ashes from your Fire Chief OS2200D at least once a day - or as often
as necessary to ensure the ashes do not accumulate to the height of the grates. If ash
build-up occurs at grate level, it will cause premature failure of the grates, voiding the
warranty on the grates. The air flow was designed to keep the grates cool in addition to
providing the firebox with warmed air for better combustion. If the ash level is improp-
erly maintained, the firebox will be starved for air, greatly reducing the efficiency and
heat output of your furnace. Place hot ashes in a covered, air tight metal container -
place the container on a non-combustible surface. Discard the hot ashes in a safe man-
ner.
Always keep your wood covered year round. Dry wood will
produce more Btu output and a longer burn time.

13
FCOS2200D HEAT DUMP SYSTEM - HEAT FUSE LINK
Your OS2200D has an automatic safety feature - Heat Dump Release System.
In case of power failure, the Heat Dump Release will open the spring loaded lid when the
internal furnace temperature reaches 370°. The heat sensitive fuse link, located within
the top of the heat chamber, causes the lid to open, allowing excess heat to escape. The
butterfly damper inside the natural draft tube will close restricting the air entering the fire
chamber. This safety feature is designed to activate before any extreme heat can dam-
age the furnace
In Case of Power Failure: Connect to Generator immediately. If the Heat Dump
Release lid should open, do not continue to burn the furnace. DO NOT UNPLUG
THE FURNACE. Close the draft dampers and set the wall thermostat to the low-
est temperature. DO NOT add any fuel( wood) - allow the fire to die. After the
electricity is restored, replace the fuse link before resuming normal operation.
Replacing the Heat Fuse Link: Remove the acorn nut on top of the release lid and pull
the bolt down thru the lid. Removed the separated fuse links and connect the new fuse
link to the shaft inside of the furnace heat chamber. Connect the opposite end of the fuse
link to the bolt that goes thru the lid. Feed the bolt through the lid and replace the acorn
nut onto the bolt on top of the lid. As a precaution, keep a replacement on hand.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: NEVER disengage this safety feature or fail to connect
the fuse link as this will void all warranties. NEVER lay anything on top of the release lid.
The area must be kept free of any objects or obstructions. A visual inspection by factory
personnel can easily determine if the furnace over-heated and proper steps were fol-
lowed. If the furnace is found to be deliberately or improperly used, all warran-
ties will be void.
To order a replacement Heat Fuse Link: Call 800.875.4788. The first fuse link will be
replaced at NO CHARGE. To receive the heat fuse link at no charge, the warranty
card must be completed and returned to us within thirty (30) days of furnace
purchase. Cost for each additional heat fuse link, $4.95 - Part Number: FCFUSELINK
- Heat Fuse Link.

Maintenance of the FCOS2200D
At the beginning of each heating season, take time to thoroughly check your fur-
nace and chimney system. Make sure there are no leaks where the metal panels are
joined or at the caulk lines. Should you find a leak, hi-temp silicone will correct the
problem. Check the doors for signs of rust. Should rust develop, lightly sand or steel wool
the surface and follow-up with black, high temperature paint to keep the doors looking
new. Check the gaskets. If they are frayed and burnt, replace the gasket. Check the
firebricks for breakage or crumbling and replace as needed. Check the chimney pipe for
signs of creosote formation, if you find creosote, thoroughly clean the chimney system -
replacing the chimney cap securely so rain or snow does not run down the chimney into
the firebox - if the cap is removed for any length of time when the furnace is not in use,
cover the pipe so no moisture gets into the firebox. Check the chimney pipe for holes or
loosened connections - replace and secure as necessary. Check the grates for signs of
wear and replace as needed. Check the heat duct and cold air return to be sure they
have not come loose or been damaged. If so, tighten or replace as needed. Check the
duct work for any air leaks that will affect the furnace’s performance - airtight duct work
increases efficiency and furnace performance while delivering higher BTUs. Remove any
accumulated ashes at the end of the season. By following these procedures your furnace
will provide many years of trouble-free service.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
1. Bugs found in wood.
2. Circulation blower will
not turn on.
3. Circulation blower runs
continuously.
4. Circulation blower vibrates
during operation.
5. Odor detected in home
during initial firing.
SUGGESTED REMEDY
Inspect the wood for obvious
signs of insect infestation such
as burrows or holes and avoid
using if possible. Do not store
indoors.
Check by rotating the knob to
"ON" position, the blower
should turn on. If the blower
doesn’t run, replace the fan limit
control.
Pointers should be set at 110
and 170 degrees.
Replace fan limit.
Review wiring diagram. If wired
correctly, seek professional as-
sistance.
Open Damper.
Check squirrel cage alignment
and position so that it does not
drag on the housing during ro-
tation; then tighten the screw
sufficiently to fasten the squir-
rel cage securely to the shaft.
You may attempt to adjust the
weights yourself to obtain an ac-
ceptable balance. If you are un-
successful, contact your sup-
plier.
Return the blower to your
supplier for replacement.
This odor should disappear
after a few hours of usage.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Wood has rotted or has been
laying around for an extended
period of time.
• Defective fan limit control.
• “Off” setting is too low on
the fan limit control.
• Defective fan limit.
• Improper wiring.
• Back draft damper in duct
line is closed.
• Screw on squirrel cage is not
tight.
• Balance weights on squirrel
cage have become dislocated.
• Defective main bearings.
• There is an oily film that re-
mained on the steel after the
manufacturing process. Firing
the unit has raised the tempera-
ture of the firebox to a level that
is sufficient to vaporize the resi-
due.

19
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Chimney not high enough.
• Chimney blocked or dirty.
• Chimney has a cold spot
which inhibits exhaust dis-
charge from rising properly.
This symptom may occur in fac-
tory built chimneys because the
insulation has settled or a seam
has ruptured. In masonry
chimneys, mortar loss may be
causing the aspiration of cooler
outside air into the stack.
• There is an obstruction out-
side the chimney, such as a
tree.
• Chimney is located too close
to the peak of the roof or does
not rise above it to provide the
proper draft.
• Chimney is located too close
to another building.
• Obstruction in chimney.
• Excessive ash accumulation.
• Creosote build-up.
• Insufficient draft.
• Obstructed chimney or
clogged chimney cap.
• Creosote build-up.
• Insufficient natural draft or
an obstruction in the chimney
system.
SUGGESTED REMEDY
Chimney should be a minimum
of 6’ high.
Clean chimney.
Check entire chimney system for
structural integrity and leakage.
Correct or repair as needed.
Remove obstruction.
Relocate chimney termination
or increase height as required.
Relocate chimney termination.
Check entire chimney system
including stove pipe run. Clean
chimney to remove any foreign
matter.
Remove if necessary.
Clean chimney.

PROBLEM
6. Smoke from the fire
chamber is puffing back
through draft tube.
7. Down draft on chimney
caused by one or more of
the following:
8. Excessive smoke dis-
charge from fuel door during
reloading.
9. Flames discharging from
fuel door during reloading.
TROUBLESHOOTING

20
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Opening the door has provided
additional oxygen which has ig-
nited accumulated gases from
partially spent fuel.
• Fire chamber filled to capacity
with unburned fuel.
• Furnace is not connected to
return air duct and is drawing dirt
and disbursing through the home.
• Excessive dirt accumulation
in air filter.
• Improper connection to
existing furnace.
• Wall thermostat not con-
nected.
• Improperly sized ducting.
• Inadequate insulation in the
home.
• Spin draft not open.
• Improper connection in stove
pipe causing air leakage or
structural defect in the chimney
itself.
• Fueling furnace with wet or
unseasoned wood.
SUGGESTED REMEDY
Always open the door cautiously,
allowing the safety latch system
to perform its designed function
of containing ignition gases
within the fire chamber. SEE
PAGE 10.
Do not attempt to overload
furnace.
Check for leaks in return air duct
system. Add filter system.
Check and replace the filter if
necessary.
Refer to information in the
manual relating to the proper
installation procedures or con-
tact your local heating and cool-
ing contractor.
Refer to information in the
manual relating to proper duct-
ing procedures or consult your
local heating and cooling con-
tractor.
Provide additional insulation.
Open spin draft.
Inspect the entire chimney run
- from the exhaust stack of the
furnace to the termination cap.
Replace as necessary.
Completely avoid using if at all
possible. If circumstances ne-
cessitate the use of wet or un-
seasoned wood, fuel the furnace
with smaller loads. This will
cause the thermostat to call for
heat more often, which will ini-
tiated the running of the draft
blower. Consequently, the fires
will be hotter thereby reducing
the accumulation of creosote.
