3.8 DRAFT TEST – BAROMETRIC DAMPER SETUP
Because of the dangers associated with coal gases and the potential for
carbon monoxide release, It is important to balance the airflow into
the stove with the draft in the flue. The combustion blower has a
restrictor plate attached to it, which must be adjusted upon completion
of the installation. The barometric damper, if installed, must also be
set to prevent over-drafting in the appliance. Follow these steps to
ensure safe and efficient operation of your Super Magnum coal stoker
stove.
You will need to start a fire in the appliance to establish a draft in the
chimney flue. Refer back to these instructions after reading the entire
manual.
•
Drill a hole into the flue connector pipe, for the purpose of
attaching a draft meter. This hole should be between the
barometric damper and the stove's flue collar, and in an
inconspicuous location, as it will be closed off after the test
with a bolt.
•
Attach the draft meter to the hole in the connector. A great
chimney will have draft without a fire or heat source. Set the
barometric damper to maintain -.06 to -.08 (inches of water
column).
•
Remove the draft meter from the connector pipe and seal the
hole by threading in a screw or bolt. You may also want to
apply a small dab of high-temperature silicone to the threads
prior to installing.
•
Next, remove the set-screw plug bolt from the front of the
Super Magnum body. This plug is located in the center, just
below the top load door. Attach the draft meter hose to the
stove.
•
Turn the feed adjuster knob to "Test". This will run the
combustion blower at its highest possible voltage or speed.
•
Close the restrictor over the opening to the combustion
blower until the draft reading in the firebox ?ts the -.03 to
-.04 range. This will ensure that the combustion blower will
never push more air into the firebox than the draft in the flue
is capable of removing.
•
Disconnect the draft meter from the stove and re-install the set screw plug bolt.

CAUTION DO NOT ALTER ADJUSTMENT WITHOUT STARTING AGAIN WITH
THE INITIAL STEP OF MEASURING CHIMNEY DRAFT.
WARNING!
DO NOT OPERATE IF THE DRAFT IN THE FLUE EXCEEDS -.08
INCHES OF WATER COLUMN.
