Chimney Connector Requirements
Chimney connector is required from the flue collar of the stove to the factory-built chimney or
masonry chimney.
The chimney connector must be 6” (152mm) diameter and stainless steel, or one of the reduced-
clearance connector.
NOTE: Aluminum or galvanized steel is not allowed – these materials cannot withstand the flue
temperatures and may give off toxic fumes when heated.
The chimney connector may not pass through a ceiling, attic, roof, closet, or any other concealed
space (use listed chimney – see “Chimney Requirements for details). DO NOT USE CONNECTOR
PIPE AS CHIMNEY.
The chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible. No more than 180oof elbows for the
entire system – connector and chimney (up to 4 45oelbows). No horizontal runs are allowed (45oslope
allowed).
The chimney connector must be installed with the crimped end pointing downwards. This prevents
creosote from leaking to the exterior of the pipe.
The chimney connector must be fastened to the stove and each adjoining section (and chimney).

12 Stove Installation (for qualified installers only)

Chimney Requirements
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT CONNECT TO OR USE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCTWORK
UNLESS SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH INSTALLATIONS
IN CANADA: This appliance must be connected to a factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-
S629, Standard for 650°C Factory-Built Chimneys.
UL 103 HT Chimney must be used from the first ceiling or floor or wall penetration to the chimney

Chimney must be fastened to each adjoining section.
Follow the chimney manufacturer's clearances and requirements.
Use the chimney manufacturer's fire stops, attic guards, roof supports, and flashings when passing
through a ceiling and roof (see “b” and “d” below).
NOTE: Additional elbows may be allowed if draft is sufficient. Whenever elbows are used the draft is
adversely affected. Additional chimney height may be required to boost draft.
(a) Min. System Height 15’ (4.5M)
Max. System Height 33’ (10.058M)
(b) Roof Penetration and Termination (see
chimney manufacturer’s requirements)
(c) Chimney Sections
(d) Ceiling Penetration (see chimney

(e) Minimum air space to combustibles (see
chimney manufacturer’s requirements.
(f) Connector – see “Chimney Connector” on

Figure 4
Drafting
Performance This appliance relies upon natural draft to operate. External forces, such as wind,
barometric pressure, topography, or factors of the home (negative pressure from exhaust
fans, chimneys, air infiltration, etc.), may adversely affect draft. Travis Industries cannot be
responsible for external forces leading to less than optimal performance.

Exterior Factory-Built Chimney
A vertical rise of 84” of chimney connector is required, measured from the floor, before entering a Class
‘A’ wall penetration. For those wishing to pass the chimney through the lower wall, a NFPA 211 wall
pass-through may be used (if approved by local building codes).
Wall Penetrations Under 84”
In cases where the chimney connector must be passed through a combustible wall or partition under 84”,
the following NFPA 211 method may be used if local building codes permit. Check with local authorities
before installation to insure all necessary requirements have been met. Figure 12 details a wall pass-
through based on the NFPA 211 standard. After the pass-through, Class A Chimney may be used in
accordance with the chimney installation instructions.

requirements in your area.
Read and follow all of the warnings on pages 4 and 5 of this manual.
Do not operate this stove with the ash pan open. A fire
hazard will result.
Before Your First Fire
Verify the Installation:
Before starting the stove, verify that the stove is properly installed and all of the requirements in this
manual have been followed.
Keep all flammable materials 36" (914mm) away from the front of the stove (drapes, furniture, clothing, etc.).
Curing the Paint
This heater uses a heat-activated paint that will emit some fumes while
starting the first fire. Open doors and windows to the room to vent these
fumes. This typically lasts two to four hours. You may also notice oil burning
off of the interior of the heater. This rust-stopping agent will soon dissipate.
Door Gasket - The door gasket might adhere to the paint on the front of the
heater. Leave the door slightly ajar for the first fire and be careful when
opening the door after the first fire.
Over-Firing the Stove
This stove was designed to operate at a high temperature. But due to differences in vent configuration,
fuel, and draft, this appliance can be operated at an excessive temperature. If the stove top or other area
starts to glow red, you are over-firing the stove. Shut the air control down to low and allow the stove to
cool before proceeding.
Over-firing may lead to damage. If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a
stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly in front of the flue outlet on the stovetop (see
photo below) temperatures exceeding 700° are generally considered over-firing and will void the
warranty.

Opening the Door
The door becomes hot during use. Use a glove to open the door if the handle is hot.
Do not operate this stove with the door open. A fire hazard will result.
To prevent smoke from entering the room, open the air control and bypass (see instructions below)
before opening the door. You can also open the door a small amount and let air enter the firebox to
equalize the pressure, and then open the door fully.
Bypass Operation
The bypass controls the flow of smoke inside the heater. When pulled out, smoke goes directly up the
flue, creating more draft. When pushed in, the smoke goes around the baffle, utilizing the secondary
combustion and making the heater more efficient.
When re-loading, pull the bypass out.
During normal operation, push the bypass in.

Post Combustor – Use and Cleaning
This heater uses a post combustor to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. To work at its
optimum, the combustor must be kept free of excessive ash. If the heater becomes sluggish
when the bypass is closed, flyash may be building up on the combustor. See the directions
below to inspect and clean the combustor with the included brush.
Inspecting & Cleaning the Combustor
The combustor becomes very hot during operation. Let the heater cool before cleaning the combustor.
The combustor is located directly above
the firebox opening. Make sure the
square openings are open for air to pass
through. If ash is accumulating, use the
brush to clear off visible flyash.
NOTE: To thoroughly clean the
combustor, use an ash vacuum to pull
flyash from the combustor (see page 29).

Starting a Fire
Use of the optional GreenStart igniter will greatly simplify this process. See page 37.
Since the dawn of time man has debated the best way to start a fire. Some use the boy-scout "tee-pee"; some
prefer the "tic-tac-toe" stack. Either way, review the hints and warnings below to ensure proper fire starting.
Make sure the air control is pulled out. If additional air is needed, open the door 1/4" during the first
five minutes of startup.
Make sure the bypass is pulled out.
Do not use colored paper or any material other than newspaper and cord wood to start a fire.
This may damage the post combustor.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or "freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE OIL. Do not place such fuel
within space heater installation clearances or within the space required for charging and ash removal.
If using a fire-starter, use only products specifically designed for stoves - follow the manufacturer's
instructions carefully.
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT
MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Do not open the ash pan when the stove is lit. An extreme fire hazard will result.
If the smoke does not pass up the chimney, ball up one sheet of newspaper, place it in the center of the
firebox and light it. This should start the chimney drafting (this eliminates "cold air blockage").
Use plenty of kindling to ensure the stove reaches a proper temperature. Once the kindling is burning
rapidly, place a few larger pieces of wood onto the fire.
