CHIMNEY AND FLUE INFORMATION
The successful operation of the cook stove relies on the adequate performance
of the chimney to which it is connected. The following chimney guidelines must
be followed:
o
It should have an internal cross section of no less than 320cm
2
(200mm/8” dia.) (If a flue liner is used, it should be 150mm (6’’) diameter
and be made of suitable material for burning wood). A Flue with a
diameter of 150mm (6’’), is required to connect to the cook stove.
o
Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady
flue draught. The appliance flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing
of the chimney.
o
Terminate at least 1m (40”) above roof level so that the chimney does not
terminate in a pressure zone.
o
Be a minimum of 4.6m (15’) high from hearth level to pot.
o
If the appliance is installed as a freestanding appliance, it should not
support any part of the chimney.
o
Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids, and obstructions.
o
Be connected to this one appliance only.
o
New chimneys must be in accordance with local regulations.
o
The chimney must be capped to prevent ingress of rain.
o
A flue/chimney access point is required so that the state of the chimney
can be checked and any fallen soot removed.
o
External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
o
Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
o
It is recommended that an inspection hatch is fitted to the chimney as
this will make future cleaning easier.
o
A single wall starter length with a single to twin wall adapter will be
needed to use twin wall insulated flue. The stove will need to be moved
away from the wall to accommodate use of twin wall flue.
o
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is
desired, the installation shall conform to NFPA 211 or CAN/CSA-B365,
Installation Code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliance and Equipment
(Canada).
