D. Locating Your Stove & Chimney
Location of the appliance and chimney will affect perfor-
mance. As shown in
Figure 10.1
the chimney should:
• Install through the warm space enclosed by the build
-
ing envelope. This helps to produce more draft, espe
-
cially during lighting and die down of the fire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes
the affects of wind turbulence and down drafts.
• Consider the appliance location in order to avoid floor
and ceiling attic joists and rafters.
•
Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacent
structures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.
Your local dealer is the expert in your geographic area and
can usually make suggestions or discover solutions that will
easily correct your flue problem.

• Trees, buildings, roof lines and wind conditions affect
performance.

overdraft occurs.
NOTICE: Locating the appliance in a basement or in a
location of considerable air movement can cause intermittent
smoke spillage from appliance. Do not locate appliance near
