FIRE DECK VENTING
Fire Deck model numbers containing a -W (other than the “W” in the beginning of the model number) should be vented in
accordance with codes concerning solid fuel appliances (NFPA 96)� Due to the dangers of creosote buildup and of sparks entering
the duct, these models should be vented separately from all other kitchen equipment�
Solid fuel exhaust contains creosote and other substances that accumulate in ducting, creating a risk of fire� The rate of accumulation
will vary with respect to flue gas temperature, wood type and moisture content� Frequent, regularly scheduled, thorough flue
cleaning is the best way to minimize the risk of flue fires�
CREOSOTE - AND THE NEED FOR ITS 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 oven flue of a slow-burning fire� As a result, creosote residue accumulates in
the duct� When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire� The duct serving this oven should be inspected at least twice a
month during the first two months of operation, to establish rate of creosote buildup and necessary cleaning schedule� If creosote or
soot has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a flue fire� The interior floor and dome of the oven do not require
creosote or soot removal� The oven flue and exhaust system will require inspection and cleaning� The exhaust system should be
inspected and cleaned per the manufacturer’s and or local code official’s recommendations�
WOOD STONE RECOMMENDS THAT THE OPERATOR REFER TO THE EXHAUST HOOD MANUFACTURER’S FOR
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING. WOOD STONE RECOMMENDS THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR VENTING
PLANS TO THE AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH INSTALLATION OF ANY GAS
AND/OR SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCE.
