FLUE DRAUGHT
The chimney can be checked, before the stove is installed, with a smoke match. If the
chimney doesn't pull the smoke it may suggest the chimney needs attention (see the Flue
Diagnosis Table, below).
This test is only a guide as an apparently poor flue may improve once
the stove is installed, lit and the flue is warmed. If, once the stove is
installed, there is any doubt that the chimney is providing an adequate
draught; a flue draught reading can be taken with the stove lit. Two flue
draught readings should be taken, one with the stove at minimum rate
and one at maximum rate.
MEASUREMENTS
The flue draught test hole is located on the right hand side of the stove at the back near
the top. Remove the screw to allow reading to be taken, replace the screw once readings
are complete.
MINIMUM
The stove should be lit and allowed to warm the flue thoroughly. The air controls can then
be closed so that the stove burns on a low setting. Allow the burning rate to become
steady. The flue draught reading should now be taken with both air controls fully closed.
MAXIMUM
The primary air intake can now be opened to allow the stove to burn at maximum rate.
Give the stove some time for the burning rate to become steady and then close the
primary air control, make sure the secondary air control is fully open and take a flue
draught reading immediately. Ideally, the flue draught reading should range between
1mm wg (10 Pa) and 2.5mm wg (25 Pa). Any readings significantly outside this range may
indicate the need for remedial action.
Low flue draught symptoms: difficult to light and smoke coming into the room.
CAUSE REMEDY
Cold chimney Line the chimney
Chimney too short Extend the chimney
Down draught Relocate/extend chimney terminal. Fit an anti-­‐down draught
cowl
Chimney diameter too large Line the chimney
Chimney obstruction Clear/sweep the chimney
Restricted air supply Check for competing draughts (other chimneys, extractor
hoods/fans) -­‐ Fit an air vent if the room is sealed
High flue draught symptoms: fire difficult to control, fuel will not last, stove too hot, stove damage, chimney fire.
CAUSE REMEDY
External wind conditions combined with
chimney terminal Fit stabiliser cowl
Fit flue draught stabiliser
