Troubleshooting 

Virtually  all  woodstove  operators  experience  basic 
common problems at one time or another.   Most  are 
correctable  and  generally  require  only  a  minor 
adjustment  of  the  stove,  installation,  or  operating 
technique.    In  cases  where  weather  conditions 
dramatically  affect  stove  performance,  the  problems 
are  typically  temporary  and  solve  themselves  once 
the weather changes. 

If  you  question  whether  your  stove  is  producing 
adequate  heat,  the  best  way  to  troubleshoot  the 
problem is to monitor the temperature of the stove.  A 
temperature  of  about  400  degree  F  (200  degree  C) 
confirms the stove is supplying sufficient heat.  Keep 
in  mind  that  your  house  itself  will  regulate 
room/house temperatures.  How well the walls, floors 
and  ceilings  are  insulated,  the  number  and  size  of 
glass  windows,  the  tightness  of  outside  doors,  and 
the  construction  or  style  of  your  house  (vaulted 
ceilings  or  other  open  spaces  which  collect  large 
percentages  of  heat,  ceiling  fans,  etc.)  all  are 
determining factors of room temperature. 

Your  stove's  performance  is  also  dependant  on  its 
installation. 

 

One 

common 

cause 

of 

poor 

performance 

is 

an 

oversized 

chimney 

flue.  

Oversized  chimney  flues  result  in  decreased  draft, 
which  prevents  the  smoke  from  rising  out  the 
chimney.    Oversized  flues  are  also  more  difficult  to 
heat  effectively,  especially  when  burning  a  high 
efficiency  stove.    Cool  flue  temperatures  inhibit  the 
establishment  of  a  strong  draft  (and  encourage  the 
accumulation of creosote).  The lack of a strong draft 
will  cause  the  fire  to  die  down  and  may  even  force 
the smoke to pour into the room. 

If  your  chimney  is  the  proper  size  and  a  strong  draft 
is not easily established, there is the possibility of the 
chimney is too cold.  Again, hot chimneys promote a 
stronger draft. 

Other draft guidelines are as follows: 

AN

  "AIRTIGHT"  HOUSE: 

  If  your  home  is  super-

insulated  or  especially  well  sealed,  the  required 
(infiltration) air supply to the interior of the house may 
be  inadequate.    This  phenomenon  of  air  starvation 
within  the  building  can  be  exacerbated  if  exhaust 
fans,  such  as  clothes  dryers,  bathroom  fans  or 

cookstove  exhaust  fans,  are  in  operation  within  the 
home.  Outfitting  your stove with the optional outside 
air  supply  adaptor  connected  to  an  air  duct  which 
leads to the outside of the building should correct this 
problem. 

TALL TREES OR BUILDINGS: 

 These obstructions, 

when  located  in  proximity  to  the  top  of  the  chimney 
can  cause  chronic  or  occasional  downdrafts.    When 
selecting  a  site  for  a  new  chimney,  take  care  to 
consider  the  placement  of  other  objects  near  the 
proposed chimney location. 

WIND  VELOCITY: 

  Generally,  the  stronger  and 

steadier  a  wind,  the  stronger  (better)  the  draft.  
However,  "gusty"  wind  conditions  may  cause  erratic 
downdrafts.  Wind  can  also  impact  interior  air 
pressure which can hinder draft. 

BAROMETRIC  PRESSURE:

    Chimney  drafts  are 

typically sluggish on balmy, wet or muggy days.  This 
is a weather-related phenomenon, which generally is 
self-correcting as the weather changes. 

BRISKNESS  OF  FIRE:

    The  hotter  the  fire  in  your 

stove,  the  hotter  your  chimney  and,  therefore,  the 
stronger the draft. 

BREAKS IN THE VENTING SYSTEM:

  An unsealed 

clean-out  door  at  the  bottom  of  the  chimney,  leaky 
stovepipe 

joints, 

poor 

stovepipe-to-thimble 

connection,  missing  caps,  or  a  leaky  chimney  may 
cause inadequate draft. 

SEASONAL FACTORS:

 Early fall and late spring are 

generally  difficult  seasons  in  which  to  establish 
proper drafts.  The colder the outside air is (relative to 
room temperatures) the stronger the draft. 

O

PERATING THE 

S

TOVE 

 

There are days when a draft is not easily established.  
As  outlined  above,  seasonal  factors  or  a  cold 
chimney  may  be  the  cause.    Try  starting  the  fire  by 
using  small  kindling  and  fuel  to  obtain  a  quick,  hot 
fire.  Tend  the  fire  frequently  with small  fuel  until  the 
chimney  is  hot  and  the  draft  is  well  established. 
Briefly  opening  a  window,  or  door  in  the  room  with 
the stove can also help 

– especially if a reverse draft 

has established in the chimney.
