WARNING

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and 

other organic vapors, which when combined with 

expelled moisture form creosote. The creosote 

vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue 

of a slow-burning fire.  As a result, creosote residue 

accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this 

creosote makes an extremely hot fire. ...A creosote 

deposit just 1/8’’ (3 mm) thick is enough to cause 

a chimney fire. 

COAL: 

Some coals contain large quantities of sulfur (up to 

7%). When coal is burned, sulfur and coal ashes 

are deposited in the chimney flue. This deposit 

combines with moisture to form a highly corro-

sive acid (sulphuric acid).  In order to protect your 

chimney, we recommend that you: 

1. Burn only low sulfur coals (less than 1% sul-

fur).

2. Have your chimney cleaned within 48 hours 

of shutting down your stove at the end of the 

heating season.  Be certain that all the soot is 

removed. Wipe the chimney flue using a strong  

solution of baking soda and water. This can 

be done by wrapping a rag around a chimney 

cleaning brush, dipping it into the baking 

soda-water solution then passing it through the  

chimney three of four times.

CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL  

RECOMMENDATIONS

Clearance

The clearances stated in this guide are minimum re-

quirements: if more space is available, use it. Min-

imum clearances mean leaving unobstructed air 

space.  Do  not  fill  these  spaces  with  any  material 

whatsoever, especially not insulating material. 

Inspection

Contact local building or fire officials about restric-

tions, installation inspections and permits that may 

be required in your area.
Replacement Parts

If a component of your chimney system is damaged 

it must be replaced by an identical one from Du-

raVent.

NOTE: DIAGRAMS & ILLUSTRATIONS ARE NOT TO SCALE.

WOOD AND COAL STOVES

We recommend:

1. Choose a stove that bears the label of a test-

ing laboratory (such as ULC, CSA, WH, UL, or 

ICBO).

2. Choose the right size stove. Do not buy one 

larger than you need.

3. Connect only one appliance to a chimney.

4. Never overfire your stove. If any part of the 

stove or stove pipe is glowing red, then you are 

overfiring. Immediately close the stove’s damp-

ers until the system cools. The high temperature 

caused by overfiring can permanently damage 

the stove and stove pipe and may overheat 

nearby combustible walls and furniture.

5. Install the stove and stove pipe as described in 

the installation instructions accompanying the 

stove. Be certain to maintain the required clear-

ances to combustible construction.

6. Keep your flue gases between 150°C and 

260°C. This will maximize efficiency while min-

imizing condensation and creosote formation. 

Do not fill your stove with wood and allow it to 

smolder for 8 to 10 hours. This condition pro-

duces large amounts of creosote in the chimney.

7. Do not burn sea driftwood or treated wood. 

These combustibles are highly corrosive to all 

types of stainless steel.
