A. Design and Installation Considerations
Considerationmustbegivento:
 • Safety
 • Convenience
 • Tra󰀩cow
 • Chimneyandchimneyconnectorrequired
Itisagoodideatoplanyourinstallationonpaper,usingexact
measurementsforclearancesandoorprotection,before
actuallybeginningtheinstallation.Ifyouarenotusingan
existingchimney,placetheappliancewheretherewillbea
clearpassageforafactory-builtlistedchimneythroughthe
ceilingandroof.
Werecommendthataqualiedbuildinginspectorandyour
insurancecompanyrepresentativereviewyourplansbefore
andafterinstallation.
Ifthisapplianceisinanareawherechildrenmaybenear
itisrecommendedthat youpurchaseadecorativebarrier

childrenawaywhileitis operatinganddonotletanyone
operatethisapplianceunlesstheyarefamiliarwiththese
operatinginstructions.
C. Negative Pressure
Negativepressureresultsfromtheimbalanceofairavailable
fortheappliancetooperateproperly.Itcanbestrongestin
lowerlevelsofthehouse.
Causes include:
• Exhaustfans(kitchen,bath,etc.)
• Rangehoods
• Combustionair requirementsfor furnaces,water
appliancesandothercombustionappliances
• Clothesdryers
• Locationofreturn-airventstofurnaceorairconditioning
• ImbalancesoftheHVACairhandlingsystem
• Upperlevelairleakssuchas:
- Recessedlighting
- Attichatch
- Ductleaks
B. Fire Safety

therequirementsofPartJoftheBuildingRegulations2000
(CombustionAppliancesandFuelStorageSystems).This
canbeachievedbyensuringthatthehearthisconstructed
and sized in accordance with the guidelines included in
section2ofapproveddocument‘J’.Thesizeandclearances
ofthehearthareasfollows:
Theconstructedhearthshouldbeconstructedinaccordance
withtherecommendationsindocumentJ,andshouldbeof
minimumwidth840mmandminimumdepth840mm(ifa

Do not assume that your replace hearth is completely
noncombustible.
Many fireplace hearths do not meet the “completely
noncombustible”requirementbecausethebrickorconcrete
infrontofthereplaceopeningissupportedbyheavywood
framing.(Figure11)Becauseheatpassesthroughbrickor
concretereadily,itcaneasilypassthroughtothewood.As
aresult,suchreplacehearthscanbearehazardandare
consideredacombustibleoor.
Keep in mind, also, that many raised hearths will extend
lessthantherequiredclearancefromthefrontoftheheater
whenitisinstalled.Insuchcases,su󰀩cientoorprotection

44 Chimneys & Venting
A. Venting & Draft Management
Astoveispartofasystem,whichincludesthechimney,the
operator,thefuel,andthehome.Theotherpartsofthesystem
willa󰀨ecthowwellthestoveworks.Whenthereisagood
matchbetweenalltheparts,thesystemworkswell.
Woodstoveorinsertoperationdependsonnatural(unforced)
draft.Natural draftoccurswhen theexhaustis hotter(and
thereforelighter)thantheoutdoorairatthetopofthechimney.
Thebiggerthetemperaturedi󰀨erence,thestrongerthedraft.
Asthehotgasesrisethroughthechimneytheyprovidesuction
or‘draw’thatpullsairintothestoveforcombustion.Aslow,lazy
rewiththestove’sairinletsfullyopenindicatesaweakdraft.
Abriskre,supportedonlybyairenteringthestovethrough
thenormalinlets,indicatesagooddraft.Thestove’sairinlets
arepassive;theyregulatehowmuchaircanenterthestove,
buttheydon’tmoveairintoit.
Depending on the features of your installation - steel or
masonrychimney,insideoroutsidethehouse,matchedtothe
stove’soutletoroversized-yoursystemmaywarmupquickly,
oritmaytakeawhiletowarmupandoperatewell.Withan
‘airtight’stove,onewhichrestrictstheamountofairgetting
intotherebox,thechimneymustkeepthestove’sexhaust
warmallthewaytotheoutdoorsinorderforthestovetowork
well.Somechimneysdothisbetterthanothers.Here’salist
offeaturesandtheire󰀨ects.
Masonry Chimney
Masonry is a traditional material for chimneys, but it can
performpoorlywhenitservesan‘airtight’stove.Masonryisa
verye󰀨ective‘heatsink’-itabsorbsalotofheat.Itcancool
thechimneygasesenoughtodiminishdraft.Thebiggerthe
chimney,thelongerittakestowarmup.It’softenverydi󰀩cultto
warmupanoutdoormasonrychimney,especiallyanoversized
one,andkeepitwarmenoughtomaintainanadequatedraft.
Steel Chimney
Mostfactory-madesteelchimneyshavealayerofinsulation
aroundtheinnerue.Thisinsulationkeepsthechimneywarm.
Theinsulationislessdensethanmasonry,soasteelchimney
warmsupmorequicklythanamasonrychimney.Steeldoesn’t
havethegoodlooksofmasonry,butitperformsmuchbetter.
Indoor/Outdoor Location
Becausethechimneymustkeepthesmokewarm,it’sbestto
locateitinsidethehouse.Thisusesthehouseasinsulation
fortheueandallowssomeheatreleaseintothehome.An
indoorchimneywon’tloseitsheattotheoutdoors,soittakes
lessheatfromthestovetoheatitupandkeepitwarm.
Single Venting
Each‘airtight’stoverequiresitsownue.Ifanairtightstoveis
ventedtoauethatalsoservesanopenreplace,oraleakier
stove,it’seasierforthechimneydrafttopullairinthrough
thosechannelsandperformanceofthestovesu󰀨ers.Imagine
avacuumcleanerwithaholeinthehosetounderstandthe
e󰀨ecthere.Insomecasestheotherappliancecanevencause
anegativedraftthroughthestove,andresultinadangerous
draftreversal.
Chimney Height
Thecommonwisdomtellsusthatatalleruedrawsbetter
thanashortone.Aruleofthumbforminimumheightstates
thatthetotalsystemheight(fromtheoortheapplianceis
mountedontothetopofthechimney)shouldneverbeless
than 4.8 m (16 ft.). Most normal installations exceed this
height,butinstallationsincottageswithshallow-pitchroofs
maynot.Don’tmakeachimneytallerunlessyoumustin
ordertomeetthesafetyrules,orunlessthere’ssomenearby
featurecausingadowndraft.Eventhen,therearedowndraft-
preventingchimneycapsavailable,whichareprobablythe
smarterchoice.
Flue Sizing
Theinsidesizeofachimneyforan‘airtight’stoveshould
matchthesizeofthestove’sueoutlet.Whenachimney
servesanairtightstove,moreisnotbetter;infact,itcanbea
disadvantage.Hotgasesloseheatfasterastheytravelslower
throughachimney;ifweventastovewithasix-inchuecollar
(28squareincharea)intoa10x10"ue,thegasesslowto
onethirdtheiroriginalspeed.Thisallowsthegasestocool
morerapids,whichweakensdraftstrength.Ifanoversizedue
isalsooutsidethehouse,theheatitabsorbsgetstransferred
totheoutdoorairandtheueusuallystayscool.
Itiscommonforamasonryue,especiallyoneservinga
replace,tobeoversizedforthestove.Itcantakequiteawhile
towarmupsuchaue,andtheresultscanbedisappointing.
Thebestsolutiontoanoversizedueisaninsulatedsteel
chimneyliner,thesamediameterasthestoveorinsertsue
outlet;thelinerkeepstheexhaustwarm,andtheresultisa
strongerdraft.Annon-insulatedlinerisasecondchoice-the
linerkeepstheexhaustrestrictedtoitsoriginalsize,butthe
hotgasesstillmustwarmuptheairaroundtheliner.This
makesthewarm-upprocesstakelonger.
Pipe & Chimney Layout
Everyturntheexhaustmusttakeasittravelstothechimney
topwillslowitdown.Theidealpipeandchimneylayoutisto
ventverticallyintoacompletelystraightandverticalchimney.
Ifyouarestartingfromscratch,usethislayoutifpossible.
Ifthestovepipemustelbowtoenterachimney,locatethe
thimbleaboutmidwaybetweenthestovetopandtheceiling.
Thisachievesseveralgoals:itallowsthegasestospeedup
beforetheymustturn,itleavessomepipeintheroomfor
heattransfer,anditgivesyoulong-termexibilityforinstalling
adi󰀨erentstovewithoutrelocatingthethimble.
Thereshouldbenomorethaneightfeetofsingle-wallstove
pipebetweenthestoveandachimney;longerrunscancool
theexhaustenoughtocausedraftandcreosoteproblems.
Withprefabricatedchimney,bringitdowntosixtoeightfeet
fromthestove.Withamasonrychimney,arrangethepipe
sothatitturnsintothechimneywithineightfeetofthestove.

L. Smoke and CO Detectors & Safety Tips
Smoke and CO Detectors
The use of smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors
throughout the home is strongly advised, even if not
required by building codes or insurance regulations.
It is a good idea to install a smoke detector in the living
areas and each bedroom. Follow the smoke/CO detector
manufactures placement and installation instructions and
maintainregularly.
You may not, however, wish to install a detector in the
immediatevicinityofthestove.Dependingonthesensitivity
oftheunit,thealarmcanbeseto󰀨whileyouaretending
thereoremptyingtheashes.Ifyouinstalladetectorinthe
sameroom,locateitasfarawayfromthestoveaspossible.
Safety Tips
Convenientlylocatea“ClassA”reextinguishertocontend
with small res. Be sure the re extinguisher works and
isclearlyvisible.Alloccupantsof the houseshouldknow
whereitis,andhowitoperates.Haveheavystovegloves
availablenearthestove.Havespecialsafetyaccessories
(e.g.,ChildGuardScreen)availableforuseifsmallchildren
willbeinthehome.
Intheeventofastovepipeorchimneyre….
• Evacuatethehouseimmediately
• Notifytheredepartment
• Ifthe reisn’ttoo threatening,closing downthestove
tight,(damper,primaryair,alldoors)willhelptosmother
there.
• Inspect your stove, vent pipe and chimney for any
damage caused by the re and correct any damage
beforeusingyourstoveagain.
Fire Risk
• Donotleavethereunattendedwhenthe
dooris unlatched orwhen usingthe re
screen.
• Unstablerewoodcouldfalloutoftherebox
creatingarehazardtoyourhome.
