COMBUSTION AIR
Insure adequate combustion air allowing for all other exhausting type appliances in the dwelling
(range hoods, dryers, etc). In airtight houses it is recommended to install a fresh air inlet into the room
where the stove is located, this to prevent air starvation.
DRAFT
Draft is created by the heated air rising in the chimney system. This draft will pull fresh combustion air
into the firebox. Recommended draft is .05 in. w.c at high fire. Too little draft results in a sluggish fire
and smoking when the stove door is opened. Too much draft (over 0.06 in. w.c.) makes it unsafe to
operate the stove. Use a barometric control or key damper if necessary to avoid excessive draft.
VENTING SYSTEMS
The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during
use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote fire. To
protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly
installed and maintained. A listed thimble must be used when a connection is made through a
combustible wall to a chimney. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made
through the ceiling to a listed prefabricated chimney. These accessories are absolutely necessary to
provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling material.
This stove may be connected to a lined masonry chimney or a listed factory built chimney suitable for
use with solid fuels and conforming to, ULC629 in Canada or UL-103HT in the USA. Do not connect it
to a chimney serving another appliance. To do so will affect the safe operation of both appliances, and
will void the stove warranty.
You must comply with the local authority having jurisdiction and/or
in Canada, CSA installation standard B365-M87.
Blaze King recommends the use of a Stainless steel liner, preferably insulated, inside a
masonry chimney. This to maintain proper draft and better working of the unit.
The chimney connector must be 6” diameter, 24/26 MSG Black/Blue steel. Do not use aluminum or
galvanized steel. They cannot properly withstand the extreme temperatures of a wood fire. The
chimney connector between the stove and the chimney should be as short and direct as possible.
Blaze King recommends the use of double wall pipe and two 45° elbows instead of a single 90° elbow.
A minimum 36” rise is recommended prior to any elbows being used.
The chimney connector must be attached to either an approved masonry chimney or one of the listed
factory built chimneys suitable for use with solid wood fuel. All joints must be tight and fastened with
sheet metal screws.
WARNING: The chimney connector is to be used only within the room, between the stove and
ceiling/wall. Never use a chimney connector to pass through an attic or roof space, closet or
similar concealed space, or a floor, or ceiling. Always maintain the minimum clearances to
combustibles as required by the applicable building codes.
