If you plan on using a pre-existing 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, inadequate 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 rmly

cemented in place with refractory cement. (A thimble is

a masonry pipe which is inserted through the chimney

wall, and is frequently 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 rmly into the refractory cement. In either case, the

chimney connector vents to the chimney through the

thimble or breech pipe.

Using a thimble, the connector slides completely

inside the masonry to the inner edge of the ue liner,

and may be easily removed for chimney and connector

inspection. A breech pipe must extend at least 2" (50

mm) into the room, so the connector can be attached

with sheetmetal screws.

In some situations, a code compliant chimney originally

used for a masonry replace may be used. In addition

to the requirements 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. Do not forget to include oor protection

in your plans. (See Clearances and Floor Protection

in this section.) Since many replaces have exposed

wooden mantels and trim, pay special attention to the

clearances necessary to these materials.

If your replace 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 replace must be made inoperable. For

example, you might remove the damper, replacing it with

a secure, airtight, noncombustible seal (removable for

inspection); this also satises the requirement that no

room air must be allowed to enter the chimney.

When venting 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

techniques. All prefabricated chimneys must be

tested to either the U.S. or Canadian high-temperature

standards, UL 103 or ULC S629.

Do not burn any fuel other than dry cordwood. Never

use highly volatile substances in your stove, such as

gasoline, which could cause an explosion.

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.

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 air ow in your home.
