Special arnings and Notices
1.0 Some things to keep in mind
1.1 CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide, referred to as CO, is a colorless, odorless gas that is produced during combustion of coal and other fuels. CO fumes
are toxic and can be fatal.
•The Super-Magnum is a natural draft system which relies on a properly designed chimney to remove CO and other
combustion by-products from the stove.
•Even though this stove is designed to be as safe as possible, it is important that you install a CO detector. This is true for oil,
gas, or wood burning products as well.
•CO is not specifically heavier or lighter than air. Therefore, it is best to install the detector at table top level rather than on the
ceiling like a smoke detector.
•CO detectors are very sensitive and may sound an alarm for fumes other than CO or CO from sources other than the stove
such as car or lawn mower exhaust.
If the alarm sounds:
•Increase ventilation by opening windows or doors.
•Make sure the stove doors and hopper lid are closed and latched.
•Check stove for electrical power and normal operation.
•Check chimney for possible blockage or down-draft.
•Check for false alarm.
1.2 WET COAL
Freshly delivered coal is often watered down to eliminate dust when loading and unloading. Wet rice coal does not flow as well as dry
coal. We do not recommend burning wet coal; however, we realize if it's the only coal you have, it is better to burn it than to be cold. If
you must burn wet coal, the feed rate will likely need increased. Doing this once or twice a year will not damage your stove as long as it
is hot and burning. Damage is caused when the hopper is left with wet coal in it while the stove is cold. This will cause rust and
corrosion and it is totally the operator’s fault. After the coal dries for three or four days, depending on conditions, it will flow and feed
properly.
1.3 PREVENT RUST AND CORROSION
Always empty the hopper when not burning for more than a week. When left standing for long periods with wet coal, the feed system
will rust and corrode, causing it to seize. If the stoker is then turned "on", damage to the pusher assembly and feed motor could result.
This will be considered neglect and will void the warranty on those parts. Always check to see that moving parts are free before using, if
the unit has not been burned for a period of time. This can best be determined by running a "Test" cycle and watching the cam block
and pusher arm inside the right rear door.
SPECIAL NOTE: DUE TO ASH BUILDUP, IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDEDTO HAVE YOUR STOVE PROFESSIONALLY
CLEANED AND SERVICED ANNUALLY. THIS INCLUDES ALL PARTS OF THE STOVE, AND THE VENTING SYSTEM.
Installation and repair of this stove should be done by a ualified service person. We recommend that the stove be inspected before use
and at least annually by a ualified service person. Periodic cleaning is re uired throughout the heating season and at the end of each
winter for the stove to work efficiently.
-10-
NEVER SLEEP IN THE SAME ROOM WITH ANY COAL BURNING STOVE!
NEVER USE GASOLINE, 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.
NEVER CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

First Steps
2.0 Getting Started
2.1 APPLIANCE LOCATION
Consideration must be given to safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the appliance will need a chimney and chimney
connector. It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before
actually beginning the installation.
Maintain specified vent clearance to combustible re uirements listed by the vent manufacturers instructions and all clearance to
combustibles listed in this manual.
Check with your local building code agency before you begin your installation. Be sure local codes do not supersede UL specifications
and always obtain the re uired permit so that insurance protection benefits cannot be unexpectedly canceled. If any assistance is
re uired during installation, please contact your dealer.
We recommend that a ualified building inspector and your insurance company representative review your plans before and after the
installation.
2.2 ROOM SENSOR LOCATION
The room sensor's location will have some effect on the appliance's operation. When the sensor is located close to the appliance, it may
re uire a higher setting to keep the rest of the house comfortable. If the sensor is located in an adjacent room, or farther away from the
stove, you will notice higher temperatures near the appliance.
2.3 FIRE SAFET
Maintain the designated clearances to combustibles. Insulation must not touch the chimney. You must maintain the designated air
space around the chimney. This space around a chimney is necessary to allow natural heat removal from the area. Insulation in this
space will cause a heat buildup, which may ignite wood framing.
NOTE: Clearances may only be reduced by means approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.
To provide reasonable fire safety, the following should be given serious consideration:
•Install at least one smoke detector on each floor of your home. Detectors should be located away from the heating appliance
and close to sleeping areas. Follow the smoke detector manufacturer's placement and installation instructions, and be sure to
maintain regularly.
•Maintain a conveniently located Class A fire extinguisher to contend with small fires resulting from burning embers.
•Have a practiced evacuation plan, consisting of at least two escape routes.
•Form a plan to deal with a hopper fire as follows:
•In the event of a hopper fire:
✔Evacuate the house immediately.
✔Notify Fire Department.

Chimneys and Venting
3.0 Chimney Characteristics and Components
3.1 DRAFT
Draft is widely misunderstood. It is important that you, the stove operator, realize that draft is a variable effect, not a given uantity.
Stoves and chimneys do not have draft, yet draft is the key to your stove’s performance.
Draft is a force, produced by an operating stove and the chimney to which it is attached. It is created by hot gases rising up the
chimney, creating a pressure difference between the inside of your home and the outside air. It continually moves fresh combustion air
into the stove, and hot exhaust gases out of the stove; without this constant flow, the fire will go out.
Other factors, such as barometric pressure, winds, the airtight nature of the home, the total inside chimney volume, chimney height and
the presence of venting devices such as exhaust fans also play a role in maintaining an ade uate draft. In some cases, a window may
need to be left open, or some other source of fresh air provided, to keep the appliance operating properly. Low barometric pressures,
super insulated homes and exhaust fans can reduce draft; winds can play havoc with draft; and too large or too small a chimney volume
can cause reduced draft due to the excessive cooling or not enough room to vent exhaust gases uickly.
Some signs of inade uate draft are smoking, odor, difficulty in maintaining the fire, and low heat output. Overdraft can be caused by a
very tall chimney even if it is the recommended size, and can cause over firing of your stove. Signs of an overdraft include rapid fuel
consumption, inability to slow the fire, and parts of the stove or chimney connector glowing red. It is important that you follow the
chimney guidelines in this manual, including size, type, and height to avoid draft problems.
When installed and operated according to this manual, the this unit will produce enough hot gases to keep the chimney warm so that
ade uate draft is maintained throughout the burn cycle. See later in this section for installation of a barometric damper to limit
maximum draft.
When solid fuels are burned completely, they produce water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow burns, a substantial amount of
carbon monoxide may be produced. If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide (which is odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper
ventilation and draft will prevent this from happening. If you smell smoke, thoroughly ventilate your dwelling, and contact your dealer
for service. Retest the draft and properly set the barometric damper. Other causes of poor ventilation or draft are icing, exhaust fans, a
blocked outside air inlet, and room air starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get occasional odor, check these possibilities and
increase the airflow in your home.
3.2 CHIMNE CONNECTORS
In general, following these guidelines will ensure compliance with all national and provincial codes; prior to beginning your
installation, check with your local building code official to check on additional local regulations which may influence the design and
placement of your venting system.
The Legacy Super Magnum Coal Stoker may be installed with 24 MSG, 6 inch diameter (150mm) chimney connector pipe. Size of the
connector should correspond to the size of the flue collar opening. Do not use makeshift compromises. No part of the chimney
connector may pass through an attic or roof space, closet or other concealed space, or through a floor or ceiling. Whenever possible,
avoid passing the connector through a combustible wall; if you must, use an approved wall pass-through, described later in this section.
Assemble the connector beginning at the flue collar, with the crimped ends pointing towards the stove (to keep debris and creosote
flakes inside the system). Each joint, including the one to the stove’s flue collar and the one to the chimney itself should be secured with
at least three sheet metal screws. Screws may be a maximum of 3 inches apart. A 1-1/4" (30 mm) overlap is re uired at each joint,
including the flue collar attachment. No more than two 90 degree elbows should be used, and the total length of connector should not
exceed 10 feet (3 m). All horizontal runs of connector must have a minimum upward slope of 1/4"(6 mm) per foot (20 mm per meter).
-16-
WARNING! CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY CONNECTORS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND IN GOOD CONDITION!

3.3 WALL PASS-THROUGH
Occasionally it is necessary to pass the chimney connector through a combustible wall to reach the chimney. Depending on your local
building codes, and the pertinent provincial or national codes, there are several choices for accomplishing this safely. Before beginning
your installation, contact local officials, and also the chimney connector and chimney manufacturer for specific re uirements.
Canada: Three methods are approved by the Canadian Standards Association. The diagram shows one method re uiring an 18"
(450mm) air space between the connector and the wall. It allows use of one or two covers as described in the diagram. The two other
methods are described in detail in the current issue of CAN/CSA B365, the national standard.
United States: In the U.S., the national code is NFPA 211. While many localities adopt this standard, be sure to check with local
authorities before beginning your installation.
The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) permits four methods for passing through a combustible wall. A commonly used
method to pass through a wall directly to a masonry chimney is to clear a minimum 12"(300 mm) around the entire chimney connector,
and fill it with brick masonry which is at least 3.5"(90 mm) thick. A fireclay liner, minimum 3/8" (9 mm) wall thickness must run
through the brick wall to the chimney liner (but not beyond the inner surface of the liner). It must be cemented in place with refractory
cement. This method is illustrated. For details on the other three options, refer to the most recent edition of the NFPA 211 code.
3.4 THE CHIMNE IN GENERAL
This unit must be installed into a chimney approved for use with solid-
fuel appliances. In the U.S., it must be connected to (1) a prefabricated
chimney complying with the re uirements for Type HT chimneys in
the Standard for Chimneys, Factory-Built, Residential Type and
Building Heating Appliances, UL 103, or (2) a code-approved masonry
chimney with a flue liner.
In Canada, this unit is listed for use with prefabricated chimneys tested
and listed to the high temperature (650 degrees C) chimney standard,
ULC S-629, or with a code approved masonry chimney.
For mobile homes, (US only) it must only be installed with
prefabricated chimney systems, including the installation components,
tested to use in mobile homes; the diameter should match the diameter
of the flue collar opening
The minimum recommended height for any chimney is 16 ft. (4.8 m)
above flue collar height. For non-mobile home installations, a round
flue (either masonry or approved prefabricated), of either 6" (150 mm),
7" (180 mm) or 8" (200 mm) may be used. For s uare or rectangular
masonry chimneys, nominal sizes of 8" x 8" or 8" x 12" (200mm x 200
mm, 200 mm x 300 mm) may be used.
-17-

Codes re uire that solid-fuel chimneys extend 3 ft. (0.9 m) above the highest point at which they exit from the roof. Then, the chimney
must extend 2 ft. (6 m) above the highest point within a 10 ft (3 m) radius. Thus, the 3 foot, 2 foot, 10 foot rule:
•3ft. - Above roof exit point
•2ft. - Higher than anything within-
•10ft. of the chimney.
NOTE: The restriction of not venting more than one appliance to the same flue applies to the U.S. specifically. While it is not
recommended that you use the same chimney for more than one appliance, in Canada certain exceptions may be made. Be sure to
contact your building code inspection official to see if this option is allowed in your area, and to find out the specific re uirements for
such an installation.
Building codes re uire that solid-fuel chimneys extend 3 ft (0.9 m) above the point at which they exit from the roof, provided that no
part of any structure is within the top of the chimney, then the chimney must extend 2 ft (6 m) above the highest point with the 10 ft (3
m) radius top height. If there is not ten feet of clearance from the top of the chimney, then the chimney must extend 2 ft (6 m) above the
highest point with the 10 ft (3 m) radius.
3.5 EXISTING MASONR CHIMNE S
If you plan on using a preexisting masonry chimney, have it thoroughly
inspected and cleaned. Any faults which make the chimney unsafe and
unusable must be repaired prior to use. These can include improper
height, structural defects, blockages, inade uate clearance to
combustibles, unsealed openings into other rooms of the house, signs of
creosote or smoke leakage, a loose or absent clean-out door, or absence of
a liner.
When connecting to a masonry chimney, several provisions are standard.
First, whether the chimney connector is vented to the chimney through a
thimble or a breech pipe, neither must pass beyond the inner surface of
the chimney liner, and both must be firmly cemented in place with
refractory cement. (A thimble is a masonry pipe which is inserted through
the chimney wall, and is fre uently the preferred method; a breech pipe is
a piece of steel pipe used the same way.) In Canada, a breech pipe has
ridges or protrusions to lock it firmly into the refractory cement. In either case, the chimney connector vents to the chimney through
the thimble or breech pipe.

-18-
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE
SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
WARNING ! DO NOT INSTALL IN SLEEPING ROOM!

3.6 VENTING TO AN EXISTING MASONR FIREPLACE CHIMNE
In some situations, a code compliant chimney originally used for a masonry fireplace
may be used to install your Super Magnum Coal Stoker stove. In addition to the
re uirements found in the previous paragraphs, it is important to be aware that all
clearances must be met, including those from the chimney connector to combustibles —
18" (360 mm) to sides and 18" (450 mm) to ceiling. Do not forget to include floor
protection in your plans. (See Clearances and Floor Protection in a previous section.)
Since many fireplaces have exposed wooden mantels and trim, pay special attention to
the clearances necessary to these materials.
If your fireplace chimney is behind a combustible wall, you must use an approved wall
pass-through system to gain access to the masonry chimney. The chimney connector
must enter the chimney at a place where it is lined, and the fireplace must be made
inoperable. For example, you might remove the damper, replacing it with a secure,
airtight, noncombustible seal (removable for inspection); this also satisfies the
re uirement that no room air must be allowed to enter the chimney.
-19-
DO NOT BURN ANY FUEL OTHER THAN COAL. NEVER
USE HIGHLY VOLATILE SUBSTANCES IN YOUR STOVE,
SUCH AS GASOLINE, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN
EXPLOSION.

3.7 INSTALLING TO A PREFABRICATED CHIMNE
When venting your Super Magnum Coal Stoker Stove using a
prefabricated chimney, be sure to contact local building code
authorities, and to follow the manufacturer’s instructions exactly. Use
only the manufacturer’s parts; do not use makeshift installation
techni ues. All prefabricated chimneys must be tested to either the
U.S. or Canadian high-temperature standards, UL 103 or ULC-629.
Your manufactured chimney may contain more parts than is shown at
right. Include all re uired items in your installation. A chimney cap
(A) serves to keep rain and snow from entering the chimney. An
approved Class A chimney (B) is re uired for the Super Magnum
Stoker. Wall Bands (C) must be deployed for support per
manufacturer’s recommendations. A manufacturer’s Wall Support Kit
(D) will contain re uired items for supporting the chimney. Such kits
will cost less than individual items purchased separately. A Bottom
Cap (E, location marked, but actual cap not shown) allows for
cleaning. A Finishing Collar (F) provides inside wall protection. A
Wall Thimble (G) provides for re uired clearance between the
chimney pipe passing through a flammable wall. The Chimney
Connector (H) must be approved single wall, or a low clearance pipe,
installed with re uired clearances in place. A Roof Brace
(I) is re uired for chimneys that extend more than a certain distance,
as referenced by the manufacturer’s instructions, from the roof.
Manufactured chimneys may feature a built in “twist lock” at each
joint, but a Joint Band (J) is still normally re uired to secure pipe at
the joint. An approved Chimney Pipe Adapter (K) is re uired. A
Ceiling Support (L) will provide structural support for the chimney
and is typically part of a kit that includes items that maintain re uired
clearances to flammables. A Storm Collar (M), and Adjustable
Flashing (N) prevent water from entering the home by running down
the outside of the chimney. Additional items or a kit (O) provide
additional mounting support or fire protection to the roof joists or
other roof components.
