Notes on Stove Operation and Efficiency
Rating:
You have purchased a Hearthstone Heritage 8022 tested to EPA Method 28, 28A and 5H, 40 CFR Part 60 where applicable.
This stove is certified to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2015 particulate emissions standard and is
not approved for sale after May 15, 2020. It is certified at 2.60 gr/hr emission rate and under specific test conditions has
been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 11,696 to 32,798 Btu (output).
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum allowable low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in
this manual.
Please refer to the Warranty section of this manual for registration instructions. In case of warranty claims, please contact
the point of original sale or the nearest authorized Hearthstone dealer. All warranty claims are processed by our dealer
network. Authorized Hearthstone dealers can be located at www.hearthstonestoves.com.
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air
dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: Garbage,
lawn clippings, material containing rubber (including tires), materials containing plastic, waste petroleum products paints or
paint thinners, asphalt products, materials containing asbestos, construction or demolition debris, railroad ties, pressure
treated wood, manure or animal remains, salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated materials, unseasoned
wood, paper products, cardboard, plywood or particleboard. This prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting
a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these materials mat result in a release toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective
and cause smoke.
Following the maintenance guidelines set forth in this manual will help insure the efficient use of your wood heater and
minimize visible emissions. Having you stove inspected by a trained professional on a regular basis will greatly increase the
potential for recognizing potential impacts to efficiency.
Proper draft is important to the efficient operation of your heater. Refer to the Normal Operation section of this manual for
information regarding adequate draft. Both excessive and sub-minimum draft can affect the efficiency of your wood heater.
Excessive draft can lead to over-consumption of fuel, lower overall heating capacity of the stove and potential over firing.
Low draft can result in inefficient burns, low heat output, expulsion of smoke into the living area when stove doors are
opened and an increased potential for build-up of flammable materials in the flue.
Efficiency:
Efficiency was captured using EPA Method 28-5H and weighted using CSA B415-10 methodology. A weighted average was
used to calculate the overall efficiency across all of the 4 burn rate categories using the higher heating value (HHV).
To maximize the efficiency of your wood stove make sure it is sized properly for the space you plan to heat. An oversized
stove will often be forced to burn at a lower and dirtier burn rate. Consult with your dealer for sizing and correctly placing the
stove in your home. An incorrectly placed stove can greatly reduce efficiency. Maximizing the efficiency of your stove will
heat your house quickly, burn cleaner and use less wood.
Refer to the Choosing Firewood section of this manual for appropriate fuel selection. Seasoned firewood is typically at or
near 20% moisture content. This can be measured with any number of hand-held moisture meters available through your
local hearth shop. Follow instructions included in the meter you purchase to measure fuel wood moisture content. Burn only
dry, seasoned wood as using wet wood will greatly reduce your efficiency.
CO Emissions:
The Heritage 8022 has the following CO emission rates by burn level: Category 1 - 1.27%, Category 2 –1.25%, Category 3 -
0.94% and Category 4 - 0.53%. In general, the higher burn rate that can be safely maintained without over-firing the stove
the cleaner the stove will operate. Wet wood or unapproved fuel described above can greatly affect the emissions of a wood
burning stove.
Smoke/Fire/CO Detectors:
It is highly recommended that smoke and CO detectors be installed throughout the heated space when a wood burning
heater is installed. Be certain to install these devices not only in the area where the wood appliance is located, but also in
bedrooms, hallways leading to other areas of the house and all common areas of the heated space. Check the batteries in
these devices and assure operation by performing whatever test operations are recommended by the manufacturer.

Introduction
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most
unique wood burning stove –the Heritage Wood
Burning Stove from Hearthstone Quality Home
Heating Products, Inc®. The Heritage Model 8022
is a clean burning, EPA certified, non-catalytic wood
burning stove. With a 2.2 cubic foot firebox capacity
and 2.6 grams per hour particulate emission, you
can be proud to join the Hearthstone family with our
Premier Soapstone Wood Burning Stove. The front
and the side doors, along with the generous depth
allow for loading of wood up to 21 inches long!
Your purchase ensures years of clean, comfortable
heat with minimal maintenance. You will receive the
benefits of the most advanced technology in wood
burning without the cost and maintenance
requirements of a catalytic stove. The Heritage
blends modern technology with the unique beauty
and heating qualities of soapstone, long known for
its even heat production and long heat-retaining
ability. We trust that you will appreciate the quality of
our handcrafted product.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose
is to familiarize you with your stove's safe
installation, proper break-in, operation and
maintenance. It contains information that will be
useful to you now, and in years to come, so keep it
handy and refer to it as needed.
Use these instructions as well as national, state, and
local building codes to install your stove. Be sure to
maintain the designated stovepipe and stove
clearances to walls, ceilings, hearth, and other
combustible surfaces. This will help reduce the risk
of fire. Failure to follow these instructions can result
in property damage, bodily injury, and even death.
Locate your stove in a safe, convenient, open area;
away from traffic flow, doors, and hallways; and near
a chimney and chimney connector. Review the
proper clearance measurements from combustible
surfaces. You can safely reduce required clearances
in most cases by using the, optional, rear heat
shield, and also with a special connector pipe and
special wall coverings as specified by this manual,
the NFPA 211 codes, and your local authorities
having jurisdiction.
Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and
other combustibles far away from the stove. Never
install the stove in a location where gasoline,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or other flammable
liquids are used or stored.
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow
the heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. We
recommend that you do not locate your stove in an
un-insulated basement. The amount of radiant
energy required to heat concrete basement walls is
so great that most of the usable heat is absorbed by
them and lost.
SAFETY NOTICE: A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF
THIS STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
IN YOUR AREA.
The performance of your stove depends on many
variables. Since all installations are unique, the
general information and operating procedures
presented here can only serve as useful guidelines
rather than hard and fast rules. Should you have
any questions, do not hesitate to contact your dealer
for additional information.

Never modify this stove in any way, especially
the primary air control system.
Never burn kiln dried wood, painted or treated
wood, solvents, trash, plywood, colored or
glossy paper, artificial logs, cardboard, coal,
garbage or driftwood. Especially, do not burn
coal in this stove.
Never use gasoline type fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or other liquid fuels or solid
fire starters to start or invigorate the fire. These
fuels can possibly generate carbon monoxide,
which can deplete the supply of oxygen. Keep
all such materials away from the stove.
Never use the stove if the ash pan door is open,
damaged, not in place, or not sealing.
Never use a wood grate or other device to
elevate the fire.
Do Not allow wood to rest against or otherwise

PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox or the ash pan begins to fill
up.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
A visual inspection of the chimney connector
and chimney for creosote is recommended
depending upon your use of the stove. (Please
see page 23 - Creosote Formation and Need
For Removal)
Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the fire is out and the stove is cool, shut
the door on a dollar bill. If the bill pulls out
without any resistance, then your stove’s door
isn't sealed properly. To tighten the seal,
change the door gasket. (Refer to page 23.)
At the End of Every Season:
Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs
of rust or deterioration.
Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
THERMO-CERAMIC BAFFLE SYSTEM
To enhance the combustion efficiency and reduce
the emissions of the fire in your stove Hearthstone
has developed an advanced THERMO-CERAMIC
baffle system. This system uses a lightweight,
durable ceramic material above the burner tubes to
maintain the high temperatures in the secondary
combustion area and maintain the low emission –
high efficiency combustion you desire. This new
technology will not corrode, rust dissolve or lose its
strength, however it is vulnerable to puncture or
cracking due to rough handling.
PLEASE EXERCISE CARE WHEN LOADING
WOOD OR CLEANING YOUR STOVE, NOT TO
DAMAGE THE THERMO-CERAMIC BAFFLE
Located directly above the burner tubes in the
firebox, this white or grey sheet of ceramic material
will break if wood or cleaning brushes impact it. Be
careful when loading and cleaning your stove to not
break this material. If this piece is fractured or a hole
is punctured, the stove will function improperly. You
must order a replacement baffle kit through a
qualified Hearthstone dealer.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow these
instructions:
1. Call the fire department –immediately!
2. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
wait for the fire department. If not, perform the
next three steps.
3. Close the primary air control. (see page 18)
4. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
5. Keep the stove front, and ash doors closed!
WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH FIRES
CAN CAUSE INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND
SERIOUS BODILY HARM.
Once the chimney fire expires, leave the primary
air control closed and let the fire in the stove die
out completely. Do not fire the stove again until
the stove, stovepipe, and chimney are all
thoroughly inspected for any sign of damage.
You must correct any damage before using your
stove again.

Installation
UNPACKING
Hearthstone Stoves packages your Heritage stove
with the greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under
certain circumstances, however, damage can occur
during transit and handling. When you receive your
stove, unpack it carefully, inspecting your stove and
all parts for damage. Also, make sure that all parts
are included. If any parts are damaged or missing,
please contact your dealer immediately.
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding
of how to properly install your stove.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
First, you must decide where your stove will reside.
After choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this
location to make sure that the stove will have
enough clearance to combustible materials that
would surround the stove. These combustibles can
include walls, floor, ceiling, fireplace, and chimney.
You must carefully consider the clearances to all of
these combustibles before actually connecting your
stove. When considering these clearances, also
decide the kind of floor the stove will rest on. The
Heritage 8022 must be installed on a non-
combustible surface, use floor protection if
necessary.
Use this chapter to plan how to install your stove in
your particular location. Consider both the
clearances of the stovepipe and the stove itself to
the surrounding combustibles. Also consider access
to the side door.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must
be tested to UL standards and listed. Check the
listing of your pipe for actual clearances. The
diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-
Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot be reduced
without the use of close clearance connector pipe
and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow
the heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. It is not
recommended that you locate your stove in an un-
insulated basement. The amount of radiant energy
required to heat concrete basement walls is so great
that most of the usable heat is absorbed by them
and lost.
Clearances to NFPA 211 Protected
Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system.
Please refer to NFPA 211 for specifications and
complete details. You can obtain this information
directly from NFPA.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS AND FLOOR
PROTECTION
Combustible flooring must be protected with a
covering of noncombustible material (slate, marble
tiles, or other noncombustible material can be used
for this purpose). The floor protection must extend
beyond the body of the stove at the minimum as
follows:
LEFT SIDE 16” (41 cm)*
RIGHT SIDE 5” (13 cm)
REAR 2” (5 cm)**
FRONT 16” (41 cm)*
* Installations in Canada require 18” (46 cm) of floor protection
on the left side and front.
** Rear clearance required only if stovepipe runs horizontally back
from the top or rear of the stove.
Figure 4 –Hearth Pad Dimensions
Note: Dimensions shown in figure above are measured from the
body of the stove, not the legs.
Minimum hearth pad dimensions can be reduced by
installing the Side Door Lock Kit (Kit 90-70210).

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. ®Heritage Model 8022
Page 9 of 32
(Minimum hearth pad width with the lock kit is
34”).
Handle Assembly
Locate the handle, bolt, and washers enclosed in the
envelope with the owner’s manual. Place the
washers on the bolt and then push it through the
handle so that the bolt threads extend through the
bottom of the handle. Use a slotted screwdriver to
turn the bolt into the chromed handle crank on the
door until it is snug.
Handle Operation
Front Door –when closed, the handle is in the 7
o’clock position. To open the front door, rotate the
latch clockwise to approximately the 10 o’clock
position.
Ash Pan Door –when closed, the handle is in the 9
o’clock position. To open the ash door, rotate the
latch counter-clockwise to approximately the 7’clock
position.
Side Door –when closed, the handle is in the 5
o’clock position. To open the side door, rotate the
latch counter-clockwise, to approximately the 2
o’clock position.
Figure 5 –Wooden Handle Detail
OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLY
(Kit #90-53220)
An outside air source may be connected directly to
this stove using an optional outside air kit. The
advantage of providing outside air directly to the
stove is that the air used by the stove for combustion
is taken from outside of the residence rather than
from within the room where the stove is located.
With outside air supplied directly to the stove, drafts
within the room and air infiltration within the building
are reduced. Use of the outside air kit may also
improve stove performance in a particularly air-tight
house.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the direct
connection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3"
(76 mm) diameter duct (supplied by others) which
leads to the outside of the house. When considering
placement of the duct from the outside of the house
to the hearth, keep in mind the need to avoid
structural members of the house.
Locate the termination of the duct on the outside
wall of the structure in such a manner so as to
preclude the possibility of obstruction by snow,
leaves or other material. Screen the opening against
animals and insects (any screen, duct, clamps, and
hood supplied by others).
OPTIONAL ASHPAN
The Heritage 8022 is built with a sealed firebox floor.
An optional Ashpan Kit (90-75220) can be
purchased and installed at any time. The Ashpan Kit
includes a heavy steel ash box with removal ashpan,
a cast iron door (matte black only), cast iron ash
grate and cast iron shaker grate. Detailed
installation instructions are found with the kit.
CUSTOMIZING YOUR STOVE’S DOORS
Both the Front and optional Ashpan Doors can be
reversed for loading and cleaning convenience (from
hinged at the left to hinged at the right, for example).
Detailed instructions for reversing the Front Door are
found with the installation instructions included with
the optional Front Door Reversal Kit (90-73229).
The kit includes a striker plate for latching the door
on either the right or left side.
Detailed instructions for reversing the Ashpan Door
are found with the installation instructions included
with the optional Ashpan Kit (90-57220).

Venting Components and Configuration
CONVERTING TO REAR VENT
In order to convert the Heritage from a top to rear or
vice-versa, reach through the flue collar and
remove the four ¼-20 hex head screws that mount
the cover plate. Next, reach through the hole where
the cover plate was and remove the four ¼-20 hex
head screws that mount the flue collar. Exchange
the two pieces and reattach the eight screws.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY
FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE
Single wall connector is 24 MSG or 25 MSG
blued steel stovepipe.
Double wall connector (close clearance pipe)
which must be used with a listed factory-built
“Type HT" chimney also may be used with a
masonry chimney to reduce clearances, is
available from several manufacturers, your
dealer can help you choose. Some air
insulated connector pipe models available are
Simpson Dura Vent DVL and Metalbestos DS.
Security, GSW and Ameritec also have
acceptable close clearance connector pipe.
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester
is required. (See page 17)
Chimney connector shall not pass through floor
or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet or
similar concealed space. Where passage
through a wall or partition of combustible
construction is desired, the installation shall
conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA - B365.
It is very important to follow minimum clearances for
chimney connectors to combustibles such as walls
and ceilings when installing the stove near non-
combustible surfaces. Typical chimney connector
clearances are outlined below. The single wall
clearances are generic; the Double wall clearances
are for Simpson Dura Vent DVL.
ALWAYS CHECK THE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS
FROM THE MANUFACTURER OF YOUR CONNECTOR
PIPE
DO NOT CONNECT THE VENT TO ANY AIR
DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR AIR HANDLING SYSTEM.
COMPONENTS OF A VENTING SYSTEM
The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall
pass-through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely
necessary that you install all of these components
within the clearances to combustibles discussed
earlier to install your stove safely.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you
must properly install and constantly maintain the
venting system. Upon inspection, immediately
replace rusted, cracked, or broken components.
The chimney connector is the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney
connector stovepipe must be 6" (152 mm)
diameter, 24 MSG or 25 MSG blued steel
connector pipe. Do not use aluminum or
galvanized steel pipe - they cannot withstand the
extreme temperatures of a wood fire.
A thimble is a manufactured (or site-constructed)
device installed in combustible walls through
which the chimney connector passes to the
chimney. It keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use a wall thimble when installing a
chimney connector through a combustible wall to
the chimney.
A wall pass-through (or chimney support
package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use one when connecting through a wall or
ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.
Only install this stove to a lined masonry chimney
or an approved high temperature prefabricated
residential type building heating appliance
chimney. Do not connect this stove to a chimney
serving another appliance; you will compromise
the safe operation of both the wood stove and
the connected appliance.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.
A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factory
built fireplace or masonry) chimney.
You must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those recommended in this manual.
Do not use stovepipe as a chimney.Use stovepipe
for freestanding installations only to connect the
stove to a proper chimney.
INSTALLING A VENTING SYSTEM
Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove and
to each other with the crimped end toward the stove.
If creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run
into the stove and not the outside of the stovepipe
and onto the stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to
the stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws.
Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws
into the holes pre-drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. ®Heritage Model 8022
Page 13 of 32
the screws can cause joints to separate from the
vibration that results from a creosote chimney fire.
You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using
additional accessories such as telescoping pipes,
slip-connectors or clean-out tees. These
accessories ease the inspection of your chimney,
as well as allow you to easily dismantle the
stovepipe (without moving the stove) when you
periodically inspection the stovepipe connection
and chimney.
Install the stove as close as practical to the chimney
while maintaining all proper clearances. Install
stovepipe that is as short and as straight as
possible. Horizontal runs of stovepipe should
always rise away from the stove a minimum of 1/4"
per foot (21mm/m).
Long runs of stovepipe to increase heat dispersal
are not recommended. Using longer lengths of
stovepipe or more connecting elbows than
necessary increases the chance of draft resistance
and the accumulation of creosote buildup.
In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe
damper with the Heritage. Some installations,
however, could benefit from a stovepipe damper,
such as a tall chimney which can create a higher
than normal draft. In such cases, a damper can
help regulate the draft. The Heritage requires a
draft between 0.06" wc and 0.1" wc. For drafts
above 0.1" wc, install a stovepipe damper.
Remember, the NFPA has recommended minimum
clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles
such as walls and ceilings. Once the stove is
installed at safe distances from these combustible
surfaces, it is important to maintain these connector
clearances for the remainder of the installation.
CONNECTING YOUR WOOD STOVE
You can install your Heritage to a prefabricated
metal chimney or a masonry chimney.
Connecting to a Prefabricated Metal
Chimney
When connecting the Heritage to a prefabricated
metal chimney, you must follow, precisely, the
manufacturer's installation instructions. Use only
Type HT (2100 deg. F), prefabricated metal
chimneys listed per UL 103 or ULC S629
standards.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE
TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate
for the Heritage. The Heritage requires a 6” (152
mm) inside diameter flue for new installations. A 6”
diameter flue provides adequate draft and
performance. You can use an 8” (203 mm) diameter
existing flue with a reducer. An oversized flue
contributes to creosote accumulation. (In this case,
bigger is NOT better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install
with your stove, be sure to also purchase from the
same manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling
support package), "T" section package, fire-stops
(when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,
chimney cap, and any other needed accessories.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing
the chimney and accessories. In addition, be sure to
maintain all manufacturer’s recommendations for the
proper clearances to the chimney.
There are basically two ways to install a prefabricated
metal chimney:
1. An interior installation where the chimney passes
inside the residence through the ceiling and roof.
2. An exterior installation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the stove then up the
outside of the residence.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An
interior chimney heats up more quickly and retains its
heat; thus promotes a better draft and discourages
the formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does
not benefit from the warmth of being surrounded by
the building, so it typically operates at lower flue
temperatures than an interior chimney. An exterior
chimney’s draft is not as strong and may experience
increased creosote accumulation.
Connection To A Masonry Chimney
Consider two primary elements when connecting
your stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself
and the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the
chimney. Use only Code approved masonry
chimneys with a flue liner. See figure 12 for
instructions on installing a thimble into a masonry
chimney or masonry fireplace.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks,
loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration and
blockage. If the chimney needs repair, complete
them before installing and using your stove. Do not
install your stove until the chimney is safe for use.
Make sure the chimney’s cleanout is complete and
working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, the
cleanout must close off completely. If not, the

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. ®Heritage Model 8022
Page 14 of 32
chimney will cool, your stove will perform poorly,
and creosote will build up in the chimney.
Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate
for this stove and that it is not too large. Use a
masonry chimney with an 8" x 8" (203 mm x 203
mm) tile size for best results. An oversized flue will
contribute to the accumulation of creosote.
Minimum Requirements:
Use the following checklist to ensure that your
masonry chimney meets these minimum
requirements:
Chimney wall construction:
Brick or modular block at least 4” (102 mm)
thick.
A rubble or stone wall at least 12” (305mm)
thick.
Flue liner:
Minimum thickness of 5/8” (16 mm).
Installed with refractory mortar.
At least 1” (25 mm) air space.
An equivalent flue liner must be a listed
chimney liner system meeting type HT
requirements or other approved material.
Interior chimney requirements:
At least 2” (51 mm) clearance to combustible
structure
Fire stops must be installed at the spaces where
the chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling.
Insulation must be 2” (51 mm) from the chimney.
Exterior chimney requirements:
At least 1” (25 mm) clearance to combustible
structure.
Chimney height requirements for both
prefabricated metal and masonry chimneys: (See
Figure 13)
At least 3 feet (0.9 m) higher than the highest
part of the roof opening through which it passes.
At least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any part of the
roof within 10 feet (3 m) measured horizontally
from the top of the chimney.
This stove requires a minimum chimney height of 13
feet (4 m). The maximum allowable chimney height
is 30 feet (9m).

Operation
Once your Heritage is set in place, connected, and
assembled, you are ready to light a fire.
Hearthstone Stoves tests each wood stove before
we ship, so you should be able to easily light your
first fire.
WARNING: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION.
KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY CAUSE
SKIN BURNS.
Please read this entire chapter before lighting your
first fire. It explains the controls and features of your
wood stove, how to choose firewood, and how to
break-in your stove and use it on a daily basis.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the
location and operation of your stove's controls and
features and learn how to use them. For your own
safety, do not modify these features in any way.
FRONT DOOR HANDLE:The front door allows you
to load wood into your stove; a fixed handle allows
you to latch the front door closed. To open the door,
lift the handle and pull the door. To latch the door,
push the door until closed tightly then return the
handle to the original position. Pull on the door
handle to make sure it is properly latched.
SIDE DOOR HANDLE: The side door allows you to
load wood into your stove; a fixed handle allows you
to operate the side door and allows you to latch the
door closed. To open the door, rotate the handle to
the stop and pull the door. To latch the door, push
the door closed tightly then return the handle to the
original position. Pull on the door to make sure it is
properly latched.
OPTIONAL ASH PAN:The ash pan door is
reversible. When closed, the handle will be in the 4
o’clock when on the right or 8 o’clock position when
on the left. To open the ash door, rotate the latch
downward to a vertical position.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: The handle is located
on the front lower left of the stove, just under the ash
lip. The primary air control allows you to regulate
the amount of air entering the firebox. Generally,
the more air allowed into the firebox, the faster and
hotter the rate of burn; conversely, less air creates a
slower burn. To fully open the primary air intake,
move the handle as far as it will go to the left; move
the handle as far as it will go to the right, to close the
primary air control.
OPTIONAL ASH PAN:See the installation
instructions included with the ash pan kit if
installation is necessary. The ash pan collects
burned ash from a fire and allows you to
conveniently remove the ash from your wood stove.
The ash pan and ash pan access door is located
under the ash lip. To operate the ash grate, open the
ash pan door, and simply pull the handle out to open
the ash grate and push the handle in to close the
ash grate. When the ash door is closed, it will
automatically close the ash grate. (Refer to figure
below to see the attachment of the ash grate control
handle to the control slide.) The firebox should be
cleared of ashes periodically by sliding the ash grate
towards the front door, sifting the ashes across the
grate into the ash pan, then returning the grate to its
closed position.
The ash pan is easy to remove and has a handle for
convenient disposal of ashes. Before removing the
ash pan, push it (hard!) into the stove, which kicks
the ashes further into the pan. To close the ash
door, push the door closed and turn the handle from
vertical down to its previous position. Note: The ash
grate can only be opened when the ash door is ajar
or open.
Do not operate the stove unless the ASH PAN is
inserted into the stove and the ash door is
closed. This could overheat and damage the
stove.

CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Burn only natural firewood (known as cordwood)
in the Heritage 8022 Woodstove. This stove is
not designed to burn other fuels.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
NAPHTHA, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID OR ENGINE OIL TO START A FIRE. DO
NOT USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL,
ARTIFICIAL LOGS OR ANY OTHER MATERIALS
AS FUEL; THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURN
GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS.
The quality of your firewood affects heat output,
duration of burn and performance of your stove.
Softwoods generally burn hotter and faster, while
hardwoods burn longer and produce more long
lasting coals. Density and moisture content are two
critical factors to consider when purchasing wood for
your stove.
The following is a list of many common wood
species and their relative BTU (British Thermal Unit)
content. The higher the BTU content the longer the
burn. Firewood with higher a BTU content is
generally considered ideal for a wood stove.

Moisture content plays a key role in the performance
of your stove. Wood freshly cut from a living tree
(green wood) contains a great deal of moisture. You
must season green wood before using it in your
wood stove. To season green wood properly, split,
stack, and allow it to air dry for a period of one year.
Green wood may provide less than 2000 Btu per
pound, whereas dry wood can provide up to 7000
Btu per pound.

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc. ®Heritage Model 8022

Stack the firewood on skids or blocking to keep it off
the ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic
or tarps that cover the sides of the stack of wood
trap moisture and prevent the wood from drying. As
for stacking, an old Vermonter said, "The spaces
between the logs should be large enough for a
mouse to get through, but not for the cat that's
chasing it."
DO NOT STORE FIREWOOD WITHIN THE
STOVE’S SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
BUILDING AFIRE
Once you understand the controls of your wood
stove and have chosen the appropriate firewood,
you are ready to start a fire.
WARNING: NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-
TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL
LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START
OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
Breaking In Your Wood Stove
It is imperative that your stove is "broken in" slowly.
Soapstone requires "seasoning"; over-firing a new
stove may cause soapstone to crack or may
damage other stove parts. Moisture in the
soapstone must be driven out slowly to minimize the
“shock” to the stone of its first exposure to high
firebox temperatures. In addition, the asbestos-free
furnace cement must be cured slowly to ensure
adequate sealing and bonding.
The bottom layer of soapstone in the firebox is
intended to prevent thermal stress and should
remain in place in the fire box at all times.
When you light your first fires, the wood stove will
emit some smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-
gassing” of the paints and oils used when
manufacturing the wood stove. If you find it
necessary, open a few windows to vent your room.
The smoke and fumes will usually subside after 10
to 20 minutes of operation. The odor and smoke will
end once the stove is “cured”.
The first fires may produce other odors from
impurities that exist in the area immediately
surrounding the stove. Some of these impurities can
be cleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes,
smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, a new carpet, and
new textiles. These odors will dissipate over time.
You can alleviate these odors by opening a few
windows or otherwise creating additional ventilation
around your stove. If any odor persists, contact your
dealer or an authorized service technician.
If you adhere to the following break-in procedure, as
well as all other operating procedures in this manual,
the cast iron and soapstone components of your
stove will give you many years of trouble-free use.
With use, the color of the soapstone may change
and small fractures may appear on the surface of
the stone. These changes will only add character
and distinction to your stove.
Avoid the following conditions that can cause the
soapstone or cast iron pieces to break:
Do not throw wood into the stove.
Do not use the doors as leverage to force wood
into the stove.
Do not load wood that is encrusted with ice into
a burning stove as the thermal shock can cause
damage.
Do not use a manufactured grate. Burn the fire
directly on the soapstone that lines the bottom of
the firebox.
Building A Break In Fire
1. Open the front or side door and place five or six
double sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the
center of the firebox. Arrange kindling in a
crisscross pattern over the newspaper. Kindling
should be approximately ten pieces, 1/2" (13
mm) in diameter and 10" to 18" (254 mm to 457
mm) long.
2. Fully open the primary air control by pushing the
control handle fully to the left, away from the
firebox.
3. Light the paper under the kindling. Close the
side door and leave the front door slightly ajar
momentarily until the kindling has started to burn
and draft begins to pull.
4. Close the door and allow the fire to burn. Keep
both the front and side doors closed while the
stove is in use. Make sure the grate is in the
closed position and the ash drawer is tightly
closed.
5. KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR STOVE to
maintain a steady, low-heat fire. Your first fire
should make the stove warm but not hot to the
touch. At most, a few small chunks of wood
should be added to the fire to reach safe break-
in temperatures.
6. Once the stove is warm but not hot to the
touch, close the primary air control by pushing it
fully to the right to allow the fire to die out
completely.
7. Let the stove return to room temperature.
