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
must close off completely. If allowed to cool, your stove
will perform poorly and creosote will build up in the
chimney.
Make sure the size of the chimn ey’s flue is appropriate for
this stove and that it is not too large. Use a masonry
chimney with an 8" x 8" (203 mm x 203 mm) tile size for
best results. An oversized flue will contribute to the
accumulation of creosote.
Use the following checklist to ensure that your masonry
chimney meets these minimum requirements:
Chimney wall construction:
q
Brick or modular block at least 4" (102 mm) thick.
q
A rubble or stone wall.
Flue liner:
q
Minimum thickness of 5/8" (16 mm).
q
Installed with refractory mortar.
q
At least 1" (25 mm) air space.
q
An equivalent flue liner must be a listed chimney
liner system meeting type HT requirements or other
approved material. Interior chimney requirements:
q
At least 2" (51 mm) clearance to
combustible structure
q
Fire stops must be installed at the spaces where the
chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling.
q
Insulation must be 2" (51 mm) from the chimney.
Exterior chimney requirements:
q
At least 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustible
structure.
Chimney height requirements: (See Illustration)
q
At least 3 feet (0.9 m) higher than the highest part of
the roof opening through which it passes.
q
At least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any part of the roof
within 10 feet (3 m) measured horizontally from the
