D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in
Figure 26.1
the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the build-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, espe-
cially during lighting and die down of the fi re.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
• Consider the appliance location in order to avoid
fl oor and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
•
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstruc-
tions.
Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and

easily correct any fl ue problems you may encountered.
