MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry chimney,
clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and make
any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connec-
tor stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect
directly to a lined masonry chimney are shown in
figure 15.
CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS
The stove must be connected to either a lined ma-
sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested
to the specifications listed on the previous pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and
flue gases which are the result of fuel com-
bustion.
2). The chimney (only) provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
appliance, so that proper combustion is
possible. This stove relies on natural draft to
operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air
into the room where the stove is located. Failure
to do so may result in air starvation of other fuel
burning appliances and the possible development
of hazardous conditions, fire or death.
Your stove does not create draft. Draft is provided
by the chimney. To achieve proper draft your chimney
must meet the three minimum height requirements
detailed in figures 16–18. A minimum of 0.05 w.c.
(measured in water column) is required for proper
drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke spillage, and to
maximize performance. (Gauges to measure draft are
readily available at stove stores and are economical to
rent or purchase.)
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure, trees,
terrain and chimney temperature can have an adverse
effect on the draft. The manufacturer cannot be held
responsible for external factors leading to less than
optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate draft,
you should contact a licensed heating and cooling con-
tractor for assistance in solving the problem.
IMPORTANT Installation Points
1. Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stove requires
a 6” diameter flue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving an-
other appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum height require-
ments.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar or base-
ment.
5. C o n t a c t y o u r l o c a l b u i l d i n g a u t h o r i t y
for approved methods of installation and any
necessary permits and/or inspections.

Figure 15 - Masonry Chimney Connection
If the connector stove pipe must go through a
combustible wall before entering the masonry chimney,
consult a qualified mason or chimney dealer. The instal-
lation must conform to local building and fire codes and
latest edition of NFPA 211.
If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the
chimney, close it tightly.
