reducer. An oversized flue contributes to creosote
accumulation. (In this case, bigger is
NOT
better.)
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install
with your stove, Ensure you also purchase from the
same manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling
support package), "T" section package, fire-stops
(when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,
chimney cap, and any other needed accessories.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing
the chimney and accessories. In addition, ensure you
maintain all manufacturers’ recommendations for the
proper clearances to the chimney.

Consider two primary elements when connecting your
stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself, and
the thimble where the stovepipe connects to the
chimney. Use only Code approved masonry
chimneys with an appropriate flue liner.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks, loose
mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage.
If the chimney needs repair, complete them before
installing and using your stove. Do not install your
stove until the chimney is safe for use Make sure the
chimney’s cleanout is complete and working properly.
To avoid a loss of draft, the cleanout door must close
completely and provide a tight seal. If the cleanout
door leaks, the chimney will cool, your stove will
perform poorly, and creosote will build up.
Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate
for this stove and that it is not too large. Use a
masonry chimney with a maximum 8" x 8" (203 mm x
203 mm) tile size for best results. An oversized flue
contributes to the accumulation of creosote.
Use the following checklist to ensure that your
masonry chimney meets these minimum
requirements:
Masonry Chimney wall construction:
•
Mortared brick or modular block at least 4" (102
mm) thick
•
A mortared rubble or stone wall
Flue liner options:
Tile - minimum wall thickness of 5/8" (16 mm)
•
Tile - installed with refractory mortar
•
Tile - at least 1" (25 mm) air space around liner
•
Stainless steel - UL listed 6” diameter
•
Stainless steel - fill space around liner with
vermiculite (keeps liner warmer for better
performance)
•
Ensure an equivalent flue liner is a listed
chimney liner system meeting type HT
requirements or other approved material.
Interior chimney requirements:
•
At least 2" (51 mm) clearance to combustible
materials
•
Fire stops installed at the spaces where the
chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling
•
Any insulation is at least 2" (51 mm) from the
chimney
Exterior chimney requirements:
•
At least 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustible
materials
Chimney height requirements (See Figure 10
below):
•
At least 3 feet (0.9 m) higher than the highest
part of the roof opening through which it passes.
•
At least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any part of the
roof within 10 feet (3 m) measured horizontally
from the top of the chimney.
This stove requires a minimum chimney height of 13
feet (4 m). The maximum recommended chimney
height is 30 feet (9m).
