• USE an approved wall thimble when passing through a wall and a ceiling support/fire stop
when passing through a ceiling.
• INSTALL three sheet metal screws at every chimney connector joint.
• AVOID excessive horizontal runs and elbows, as both will reduce the draft of the venting
system and will result in poor stove performance.
• INSPECT your venting system often, to be certain it is clear of creosote, fly ‐ ash and other
restrictions.
• CLEAN the venting system as detailed in the maintenance section of this manual.
• ADHERE to the 10 ‐ 3 ‐ 2 rule regarding chimney terminations.
• INSTALL single wall chimney connector with the male end down to prevent creosote leakage.
Follow double wall chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions regarding proper pipe
installation.
WARNING : Venting system surfaces get HOT, and can cause burns if touched. Noncombustible
shielding or guards may be required
The 10 ‐ 3 ‐ 2 Rule: The chimney system must terminate 3.0 ft above the point where it’s centerline

information on loading (and re ‐ loading) your fuel, as well as for fire ‐ starting procedures
(i.e. ‘Building a Fire’).
‐ Top ‐ Down Fires: The US EPA recognizes ‘the effectiveness of the top ‐ down approach for
starting fires.’ A good tutorial for this approach may be found at http://woodheat.org/top ‐
down ‐ steps.html . When building top ‐ down fires, be sure to follow the instructions found
in your owner’s manual and contact our Technical Support if you have any questions.
‐ Fuel Selection: Once your wood ‐ burning appliance is properly installed, building an
effective fire requires good firewood (using the right wood in the right amount) and good
fire building practices. The following practical steps will help you obtain the best efficiency
from your wood stove or fireplace.

Season wood outdoors through the summer for at least 6 months before burning it.
Properly seasoned wood is darker, has cracks in the end grain, and sounds hollow when
smacked against another piece of wood.

Store wood outdoors, stacked neatly off the ground with the top covered.

Burn only dry, well ‐ seasoned wood that has been split properly.

Start fires with newspaper and dry kindling as discussed earlier in the manual.
