The use of wet, frozen, or unseasoned wood.
The use of soft wood, particularly those of high resin
content such as plywood or blandexwith glue.

Inadequate amount of oxygen supplied to the
combustion chamber
Low fire or flue gas temperatures.
Uninsulated stovepipe or chimney flues, espe-
cially if construction is exterior to the house.
Air leaks in the stove pipe or chimney.
If you have to use wet wood, make
loads smaller and burn them hotter.
Avoid using if possible.
Measure draft with gauge. Should
have a minimum of .04-.06 water
columns of draft.
Smaller and hotter fires.
Adjust draft for hotter fires or in
some homes, it has been deter-
mined there was not enough in the
basement due to such an air-tight
home. We recommend 4" round
hole to the outside with a screen
on to keep varmints out.
Smaller loads of wood and hotter
fire. Stack temps. should maintain
minimum 300° to 400°.
Never use uninsulated pipe for
chimneys installed on the outside
of the house, INSULATE!
Check chimney from top to bottom.
NOTE: Creosote is a tarry liquid or
solid coming from distillation of
wood during the combustion pro-
cess. The heavier buildups, the
greater chance of a chimney fire.
NOTE: No matter how seasoned
the wood, no matter how good the
draft, you always will get a small
amount of soot buildup. Should be
cleaned before winter firing and
during mid-winter’s firing.
