Introduction:
Draft:
Draft
is
the
force
which
moves
air
from
the
appliance
up
through
the
chimney.
The
amount
of
draft
in
your
chimney
depends
on
the
length
of
the
chimney,
local
geography,
nearby
obstructions
and
other
factors.
Too
much
draft
may
cause
excessive
temperatures
in
the
appliance
and
may
damage
the
catalytic
combustor
.
Inadequate
draft
may
cause
backpuffing
into
the
room
and
‘plugging’
of
the
chimney
or
the
catalyst
.
Inadequate
draft
will
cause
the
appliance
to
leak
smoke
into
the
room
through
appliance
and
chimney
connector
joints.
An
uncontrollable
burn
or
excessive
temperature
indicates
excessive
draft.

be

This
wood
stove
operates
on
a
natural
draft
system,
in
which
the
chimney
system
pulls
air
through
the
stove.
This
unit
must
be
installed
in
accordance
with
the
following
detailed
descriptions
of
venting
techniques;
not
installing
the
stove
in
accordance
with
the
details
listed
here
can
result
in
poor
stove
performance,
property

England’s
Stove
Works
is
not
responsible
for
any
damage
incurred
due
to
a
poor
or
unsafe
installation.
Be
certain
that
all
aspects
of
the
venting
system
are
installed
to
the
venting
manufacturer’s
instructions,
particularly
the
required
clearances
to
combustibles.
Also,
be
certain
to
use
an
attic
radiation
shield
to
prevent
insulation
from
contacting
a
chimney
which
passes
through
an
attic.
The
chimney
system
is
the
“engine”
which
drives
a
wood
stove,
so
it
is
imperative
for
proper
unit
function
that
the
venting
system
be
installed
exactly
as
described
in
the
following
section.

questions
arise
pertaining
to
the
safe
installation
of
the
