Ideal Flue Connection
Fig 1
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.
Measurement:
The flue draught test hole must be drilled in the flue pipe as close to the stove as possible and before
any flue draught stabiliser.
Minimum:
The stove should be lit and allowed to warm the flue thoroughly. The air controls can then be set 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 the primary air intake closed and the airwash control fully open.
