Section 5 - Chimney
Chimney Height
The minimum recommended chimney length is eight
feet (2.4 m). Two 4-foot (1.2 m) sections are standard.
Additional sections may be needed (see Chimney Draft
section).
In higher populated areas, extend the chimney to a
height above the roofs of surrounding buildings. Use
Central Boiler Chimney Extensions when extending
the chimney. When only the standard eight feet (2.4 m)
of chimney are used, the sections must be secured at
the connection joint with four screws to stabilize the
extension.
Be considerate of neighbors when operating your
outdoor furnace. If you use your outdoor furnace in the
summer months, be certain your chimney exhaust is not
adversely affecting neighbors with open windows.
If located within 300 feet (91 m) of any residence not
served by the outdoor furnace, it is recommended that
the chimney be at least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than the
peak of the residence served.

NOTE: If more than three 4-foot (1.2 m) sections
of chimney are used, a support (e.g., a pole, pipe
or other structural support) may be installed
from the ground that can withstand wind. Other
reinforcement recommendations are shown in
Fig. 15.
If extensions are added to the standard eight feet (2.4 m) of
chimney, the chimney should be reinforced appropriately.
Fig. 15 shows chimney support recommendations when
three or more sections are used. When adding sections of
chimney, make sure that there is nothing within the fall
zone of the chimney that could be damaged. If something
is located within the fall zone and cannot be removed,
guy wires or braces may need to be installed to prevent a
falling chimney from causing damage (see Fig. 15).
NOTE: For chimney extensions or chimney
replacement, use only genuine Central Boiler
chimney components. Parts are available from
an authorized Central Boiler dealer.
The installation of a spark arrester is recommended,
particularly where there are dry conditions or where
there is combustible material near the unit, unless the
installation of a spark arrester is prohibited by local
requirements. Use common sense to avoid potential
fires, including exercising caution when disposing of
ash, cleaning and refueling. Keep all highly combustible
materials (e.g., gasoline, propane, leaves, pine needles,
etc.) away from an operating unit at all times. Take
special precautions in windy conditions.
