As A Location Is Selected, Keep The Following In Mind
Keep the chimney connection as short as possible.
The heater must have its own chimney ue. Do not
connect any other appliance to the same ue. If
there is no chimney where you wish to place the
heater, you can use a UL Listed Type 103 HT, Solid
Fuel, Factory Built Chimney.
Place the heater on a manufactured oor protector
that conforms to UL 1618, that provides at minimum
type 1 ember protection. The oor protector should
be under the stove, 16” beyond the front and 8”
beyond each side of the fuel loading and ash
removal opening. Have the oor protector with the
specied dimensions.
Check Figures 2, 3, & 4. You should have at least
the clearances shown from the heater and the
connector pipe to combustible surfaces. If you have
a solid brick or stone wall behind your heater, you
can place the heater as close as you wish to the
wall. If the wall is only faced with brick or stone, treat
it as a combustible wall. You may consult your local
regulatory authority before reducing clearances
specied in these instructions.
The oor protector must extend under the product
and two (2) inches on either side of the chimney
connector.

CHIMNEY CONNECTION
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure
it is not too close to neighbours or in a valley which
may cause unhealthy or nuisance conditions. Your
chimney connector and chimney must have the
same diameter as the stove outlet (6”). If this is not
the case, we recommend you contact your dealer
in order to insure there will be no problem with the
draft .
The stove pipe must be made of aluminized or
cold roll steel with a minimum thickness of 0.021” or
0.53mm. It is strictly forbidden to use galvanized steel.
Two basic types of chimneys are approved for use
with solid fuel. Factory-built and masonry. Factory-
built chimney must comply with UL standard in the US
and ULC standards for Canada.
Do not expect your stove or furnace to create
draft. Draft is not a function of the appliance. Draft
is purely a function of the chimney. Modern stoves
and furnaces are much more air-tight and efcient
than those of the past, and, therefore, require
greater draft. A minimum of .05" measured in water
column (gauges to measure chimney draft are
readily available at stove shops and are economical
to purchase or rent) is required for proper drafting
to prevent back-pufng, smoke spillage, and to
maximize performance.
Chimneys perform two functions - one of which
is apparent: The chimney provides a means for
exhausting smoke and ue gases resulting from
combustion of the fuel. Secondarily, though, the
chimney provides "Draft" which allows oxygen to
be continuously introduced into the appliance, so
that proper combustion is possible. As of April 1,
1987, all wood heaters and furnaces manufactured
by 6"(152mm) chimney that meets the "Type HT"
requirement and complies with UL 103(2100°F,
1149°C) or ULC S629(650°C) (when a factory built
chimney is used).
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic,
roof space, closet, oor, ceiling, or similar concealed
space. Where passage through a wall or partition
of combustible construction is desired, the installation
must conform with NFPA 211.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.
Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures
in the appliance and may damage. Inadequate
draft may cause backpufng into the room and
‘plugging’ of the chimney. Inadequate draft will
cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature
indicates excessive draft.
WARNING: Do not connect this unit to a chimney
ue serving another appliance.

Venting Into A Fireplace
Many people may wish to convert an existing
replace to heater use. Usually, safe connection
of stovepipe to a masonry chimney requires more
effort than connection to a prefabricated chimney.
Always remember to inspect the masonry chimney
and replace. If necessary, clean the ue and smoke
shelf before beginning your installation. Install the
heater into the replace so that the system can be
dismantled for cleaning and inspection.
Before deciding to convert your replace, keep
in mind that some replaces and existing chimneys
are unsafe. They must be structurally sound, and the
ue liner must be in good condition. Do not use a
chimney if it is unlined (should have a re clay tile liner
to protect brickwork). Have it relined professionally.
Clearances to combustibles are explained in the
previous section on masonry chimneys. If you have
any questions regarding the condition of the chimney,
consult a qualied engineer, competent mason, or
knowledgeable inspector.
Many prefabricated replaces fall into the "zero-
clearance replace" category. This is a factory-built
metal replace with multi-layered construction. It
is designed to provide enough insulation and/or air
cooling so that the base, back and sides can be safely
placed in direct contact with combustible oors and
walls. Although many prefabricated replaces have
been tested by nationally recognized organizations
for use as replaces, they have not been tested to
accept heaters. In fact, their use as such may void
the manufacturer's warranty.
Steel-lined replaces, on the other hand, can be used
with heaters. These units use a 1/4-inch rebox liner
and an air chamber in connection with 8 inches of
masonry to meet code. They contain all the essential
parts of a replace, rebox, throat, smoke shelf, and
smoke chamber. Many of them look exactly like a
masonry replace and must be checked closely for
above requirements before installing a wood heater
into them.
Another method frequently used by some people is
to vent the heater directly into the replace. This does
not meet code since the heater is being vented into
another appliance - the replace. This method should
not be attempted because combustion products will
deposit and build up in the rebox or replace. Be
certain not to install a hazard in your house. You will
void your warranty with this installation.
CAUTION: Not all replaces are suitable for installation of a wood heater.

10
When considering a masonry chimney, round tiles
are preferable to square or rectangular, as round tiles
have much better airow characteristics and are far
easier to clean. Unfortunately, most North American
chimneys use square or rectangular tile liners that
are really designed for open replaces, not stoves or
furnaces. Of most importance, second only to overall
chimney height, is the diameter of the ue liner itself.
In most instances, it should be sized to the appliance;
i.e., 6" [152mm] ue outlet on the appliance requires
a 6" [152mm] chimney. The inner diameter should
never be less than the ue-outlet diameter and should
never be greater than 50% larger than the appliance
ue outlet. For example, do not expect a wood or
coal burning stove or furnace to function properly
if installed into a chimney with a ue greater than
50% more than the appliance outlet - - such as a 6"
[152mm] ue outlet requires a 6" [152mm] diameter
for optimum drafting, but can function well with an
8" [203mm], but becomes borderline beyond an 8"
[203mm] diameter.
Masonry chimneys built of concrete blocks with
or without ue liners do not meet modern building
codes. A solid fuel appliance must not be joined
to a chimney ue which is connected to another
appliance burning other fuels.
If your chimney has a typically oversized ue liner of,
say 8 x 12 (203mm x 305mm) inches, or greater, or if
it is unlined, it will be necessary for you to reline the
chimney, using any of the modern approved and
economical methods such as stainless steel, castable
refractory, or properly sized reclay linings.
If you have any questions regarding venting your
appliance, feel free to contact the factory at the
address and phone number on this Owner's Manual.
You may also contact NFPA (National Fire Protection
Association) and request NFPA Standard 211 (1984
Edition-US). Another helpful publication is NFPA
Standard 908(US). Specify 1984 Edition of either of
the above US publications.
Venting Into A Masonry Chimney

"Fireplace" Installation
FIREPLACE INSTALLATION
Connection of the stovepipe directly into the
existing masonry chimney over the replace opening
is a more desirable method. This installation performs
better, yielding more heat and better draft; it is also
easy to clean and inspect for creosote. Before
beginning this type of installation plan carefully; a
high degree of skill is required to insure safety.
An entry port for the stovepipe must be cut through
the chimney with minimum damage to the reclay
liner. Some involved measurements may be required
to locate the ue liner exactly. Before cutting, take
time to mark the size and position of the entry port.
Position the entry port so that at least 8 inches of the
ue liner remains below the port.
Keep in mind that wood mantels and combustible
trim around the replace must have adequate
clearances from the heater and stovepipe or must be
protected in an approved manner. Also, be sure to
leave at least an 18 inch clearance between the top
of the stovepipe and the combustible ceiling or other
combustibles. Placing the center of the entry port 2
feet below the ceiling will insure proper clearance for
6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch stovepipes. Next, install
a reclay (at least 5/8 inch thick) or metal thimble,
being sure that the thimble is ush with the inner ue
lining, secure the thimble in place with refractory
mortar. The thimble should be surrounded on all sides
with 8 inches of brickwork (solid masonry units) or 24
inches of stone.
Install the stovepipe as far as possible into the
thimble, but not past the inside of the ue lining.
There should be a small airspace (approximately 1/2
inch) between the stovepipe and thimble, allowing
for expansion of the stovepipe. Seal this airspace
with high-temperature caulking or ceramic wool. Do
not use the Type B installation (not illustrated in this
manual), that is, venting up through the replace
opening, regardless of whether the replace opening
is closed.
Masonry chimneys have several positive attributes:
If properly built, they are quite durable, and most
homeowners consider them more attractive perhaps
than an unenclosed factory built chimney. And, if
the chimney is located within the connes of the
house (that is, not attached to an exterior wall), its
mass alone will store heat longer and continue to
release the heat long after the re has died. Masonry
chimneys have many disadvantages though.
Masonry chimneys constructed on an exterior wall are
exposed to cold outdoor temperatures, promoting
greater heat loss, higher accumulations of creosote,
and reduced draft which leads to poorer heater or
furnace performance.

12
COMBUSTIBLE WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PASS-THROUGHS
Method A. 12” (304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5” (89
mm) brick and a 5/8” (15.9 mm) minimum wall
thickness clay liner, construct a wall pass-through.
The clay liner must conform to ASTM C315 (Standard
Specication for Clay Fire Linings) or its equivalent.
Keep a minimum of 12” (304.8 mm) of brick masonry
between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The
clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer
surface to the inner surface of the chimney ue liner
but not past the inner surface. Firmly grout or cement
the clay liner in place to the chimney ue liner.
Method B. 9” (228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Using a 6” (152.4 mm) inside diameter,
listed, factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with
insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-
through with a minimum 9” (228.6 mm) air space
between the outer wall of the chimney length and
wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports fastened
securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain the
9” (228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports
to chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney
liner (the inside wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The
inner end of the Solid-Pak chimney section shall be
ush with the inside of the masonry chimney ue, and
sealed with a non-water soluble refractory cement.
Use this cement to also seal to the brick masonry
penetration.
Method C. 6” (152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Starting with a minimum 24 gage
(.024” [.61 mm]) 6” (152.4 mm) metal chimney
connector, and a minimum 24 gage ventilated wall
thimble which has two air channels of 1” (25.4 mm)
each, construct a wall pass-through. There shall be a
minimum 6” (152.4) mm separation area containing
berglass insulation, from the outer surface of the
wall thimble to wall combustibles. Support the
wall thimble, and cover its opening with a 24-gage
minimum sheet metal support. Maintain the 6” (152.4
mm) space. There should also be a support sized to
t and hold the metal chimney connector. See that
the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the
metal chimney connector do not penetrate chimney
ue liner.
Method D. 2” (50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible
Wall Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory
built chimney section at least 12” (304 mm) long,
with insulation of 1” (25.4 mm) or more, and an
inside diameter of 8” (2 inches [51 mm] larger than
the 6” [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use this as
a pass-through for a minimum 24-gauge single wall
steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section
concentric with and spaced 1” (25.4 mm) off the
chimney connector by way of sheet metal support
plates at both ends of chimney section. Cover
opening with and support chimney section on both
sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall
surfaces on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to
secure chimney ue line.
NOTES:
Connectors to a masonry chimney, excepting
method B, shall extend in one continuous section
through the wall pass-through system and the
chimney wall, to but not past the inner ue liner face.
A chimney connector shall not pass through an attic
or roof space, closet or similar concealed space, or
a oor, or ceiling.

1. Crimped end of the pipe must be installed toward
the heater. The pipe should slide inside the ue
collar. The pipe should be rmly attached to the
ue collar with 3 screws and sealed with furnace
cement.
2. Slope any horizontal pipe upward toward the
chimney at least 1/4 " inch for each foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18" inches clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceiling.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney ue.
(Fig. 8)
5. Seal each connector pipe joint with furnace
cement. Also seal the pipe at the chimney.
6. Use 3 sheet metal screws at each joint to make
the piping rigid.
7. It is recommended that no more than two (2)
90 degree bends be used in the stove pipe
installation as more than two (2) may decrease
the amount of draw and possibly cause smoke
spillage.
8. The chimney connector must not pass through
an attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or oor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction.

WOODSTOVE UTILIZATION
Your heating unit was designed to burn wood only;
no other materials should be burned. Waste and
other ammable materials should not be burned in
your stove. Any type of wood may be used in your
stove, but specic varieties have better energy yields
than others. Please consult the following table in
order to make the best possible choice.
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD
only in your wood stove. The wood should have dried
for 9 to 15 months, such that the humidity content (in
weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the
log. It is very important to keep in mind that even if
the wood has been cut for one, two or even more
years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has been stored in
poor conditions. Under extreme conditions it may rot
instead of drying. This point cannot be over stressed;
the vast majority of the problems related to the
operation of a wood stove is caused by the fact that
the wood used was too damp or had dried in poor
conditions. These problems can be:
- ignition problems
- creosote build-up causing chimney res
- low energy yield
- blackened windows
- incomplete log combustion
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs
exceeding 6” in diameter should be split. The wood
should not be stored directly on the ground. Air should
circulate through the cord. A 24” to 48” air space
should be left between each row of logs, which
should be placed in the sunniest location possible.
The upper layer of wood should be protected from
the element but not the sides.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be
an effective method of determining how efciently
the combustion process is taking place at the given
settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and
moisture leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air
settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest
amount of visible smoke. Wood that has not been
seasoned properly and has a high wood moisture
content will produce excess visible smoke and burn
poorly.
EFFICIENCY
Efciencies can be based on either the lower
heating value (LHV) or the higher heating value
(HHV) of the fuel. The lower heating value is when
water leaves the combustion process as a vapor, in
the case of wood stoves the moisture in the wood
being burned leaves the stove as a vapor. The higher
heating value is when water leaves the combustion
process completely condensed. In the case of wood
stoves this would assume the exhaust gases are room
temperature when leaving the system, and therefore
calculations using this heating value consider the
heat going up the chimney as lost energy. Therefore,
efciency calculated using the lower heating value
of wood will be higher than efciency calculated
using the higher heating value. In the United States all
wood stove efciencies should be calculated using
the higher heating value.
The best way to achieve optimum efciencies is to
learn the burn characteristic of your appliance and
burn well-seasoned wood. Higher burn rates are not
always the best heating burn rates; after a good re is
established a lower burn rate may be a better option
for efcient heating. A lower burn rate slows the ow
of usable heat out of the home through the chimney,
and it also consumes less wood.
TESTING YOUR WOOD
When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one
piece of split wood (about ve inches in diameter)
parallel to the door on the bed of red embers.
Close the door. If ignition of the piece is accomplished
within 90 seconds from the time if was placed in the
stove, your wood is correctly dried. If ignition takes
longer, your wood is damp.
If your wood hisses and water or vapor escapes at
the ends of the piece, your wood is soaked or freshly
cut. Do not use this wood in your stove. Large amounts
of creosote could be deposited in your chimney,
creating potential conditions for a chimney re.
TAMPER WARNING
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum
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.

OPERATIONAL TIPS FOR GOOD, EFFICIENT, AND
CLEAN COMBUSTION
• Get the appliance hot and establish a good
coal bed before adjusting to a low burn rate
(this may take 30 minutes or more depending on
your wood)
• Use smaller pieces of wood during start-up and a
high burn rate to increase the stove temperature
• Be considerate of the environment and only
burn dry wood
• Burn small, intense res instead of large, slow
burning res when possible
• Learn your appliance's operating characteristics
to obtain optimum performance
• Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your
stoves efciency and leads to accelerated
creosote buildup in your chimney
BUILDING A FIRE
The top down method of re building is recommended
for this appliance. After making sure that the stove
air intake controls are fully open (completely pull-out
towards you), Place the largest pieces of wood on the
bottom, laid in parallel and close together. Smaller
pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to the
rst. A third layer of still smaller pieces is laid crossways
to the second, this time with some spaces between.
Then a fourth layer of loose, small kindling and twisted
newspaper sheets tops off the pile.
WOOD FUEL
Use Hardwood that has been split and air-dried to
obtain maximum burning efciency.
Lighting Instructions
1. Open door and place paper and kindling in the
rebox.
2. Light the re and close the doors until the kindling
is burning.
3. Open the doors and add fuel as desired.
EXTENDED OPERATION
Fuel should be added in small amounts to give
more complete combustion and uniform room
temperature. Do not load fuel above the top of the
rebrick.
Empty the ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to
build up. Dispose of hot ashes properly in a metal
container with a lid.
SERVICE HINTS
Do not expect a heater to draw. It is the chimney
that creates the draft. Smoke spillage into the
house or excessive buildup of water or creosote in
the chimney are warnings that the chimney is not
functioning properly. Correct problem before using
heater. Possible causes are:
1. The connector pipe may push into the chimney
too far, stopping the draft.
2. Do not connect two heaters into the same
chimney ue.
3. The chimney used for a heater must not be used
to ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a
cleanout opening at the base of the chimney, It
must be closed tightly.
4. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will
condense in the chimney and run back into
the stove. Creosote formation will be rapid and
may block the chimney. Operate the heater at
a high enough re to keep the chimney warm
preventing this condensation.
5. If the re burns well but sometimes smokes or
burns slowly, it may be caused by the chimney
top being lower than another part of the house
or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over a house
or tree, falls on top of the chimney like water
over a dam, beating down the smoke. The top
of the chimney should be at least 3 feet above
the roof and be at least to 2 feet higher than any
point of the roof within 10 feet.
WARNING: Operate only with the feed and ash
doors fully closed. Keep seals in good condition.
WARNING: Never store ammable liquids,
especially gasoline. In the vicinity of the heater.
CAUTION: Never use gasoline, gasoline-type
lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or
ammable liquids to start or "freshen up" a re in
the heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION: Overring the appliance may cause
a house re. If a unit or chimney connector
glows, you are overring. Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design
specications can result in permanent damage
to the heater and to the catalytic combustor if so
equipped.

CAUTION: A chimney re may cause ignition of
wall studs or rafters which you thought were a safe
distance from the chimney. If you have a chimney
re, have your chimney inspected by a qualied
person before using again
CAUTION: Do not burn your stove with the ring
door open, this could cause an over ring situation.
Operating Instructions
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
• Failure to clean and maintain this unit as
indicated can result in poor performance and
safety hazards.
• Never perform any inspections, cleaning, or
maintenance on a hot heater.
• Do not operate heater with broken glass,
leakage of ue gas may result.
• Keep the Chimney and Chimney Connector
clean and in good condition.
FLUE GAS SYSTEM
Creosote Formation and Need for Removal When
wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of
a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot re. The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected at least
once every two months during the heating season
to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of a chimney re.
Inspection and Removal – The chimney connector
and chimney should be inspected at least twice
monthly during the heating season to determine
if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
the risk of a chimney re. Inspect the system at the
heater connection and at the chimney top. Cooler
surfaces tend to build creosote deposits quicker, so
it is important to check the chimney from the top
as well as from the bottom. The creosote should be
removed with a brush specically designed for the
type of chimney in use. A qualied chimney sweep
can perform this service. It is also recommended that
before each heating season the entire system be
professionally inspected, cleaned and, if necessary,
repaired. To clean the chimney, disconnect the vent
from the heater.
Chimney res burn very hot. If the chimney
connector should glow red, immediately call the re
department, then reduce the re by pouring a large
quantity of coarse salt, baking soda or cool ashes on
top of the re in the rebox.

AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to
provide an accurate mix of secondary air to insure
the highest efciency. Any damage or deterioration
of these tubes may reduce the efciency of
combustion. The air tubes are held in position by
either screws or snap pins. Locate these to either
side of the tube and remove to allow the tube to be
removed and replaced.
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your
rebox or ash pan, and when the re has burned
down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an
ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the rebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible material,
pending nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
my burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Other waste shall not be placed in the same
container as the ashes.
Ashes should never be placed in a wooden,
cardboard, or plastic container, nor in a paper or
plastic bag, no matter how long the re has been
out. Coals have been known to stay hot for several
days when embedded in ashes.
NEVER OPERATE THIS HEATER WITH THE BRICK CRADLE
OR THE ASH PAN REMOVED OR DAMAGED.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon
monoxide(CO) emissions. CO is a poisonous gas when
exposed to elevated concentrations for extended
periods of time. While the modern combustion
systems in heaters drastically reduce the amount of
CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to the gases
in closed or conned areas can be dangerous. Make
sure your stove gaskets and chimney joints are in
good working order and sealing properly to ensure
unintended exposure. It is recommended that you
use both smoke and CO monitors in areas having the
potential to generate CO.
