Chimney Maintenance

Regular chimney inspection and maintenance 

combined with proper operation will prevent 

chimney fires. Keep your chimney clean.  Do not 

allow more than 1/16” (1.6 mm) creosote build 

up in your chimney.  The amount of creosote 

will depend on variables such as frequency of 

use and type of fire.  We recommend that you:

A.  Initially inspect the chimney system weekly.  

From this, you will learn how often it will be 

necessary to clean your chimney.

B. Have your chimney cleaned by a qualified 

chimney sweep.  If you wish to clean it 

yourself, we recommend using a stiff plastic 

or non-metallic brush.  If a metal brush is 

used, its size should be slightly smaller than 

the flue to avoid damaging the chimney.  Do 

not use a brush that will scratch the stainless 

steel interior of the chimney.

C. Do not expect chemical cleaners to keep 

your chimney clean.  The rain cap can be 

removed for inspection and/or cleaning of 

the chimney. 

Top Baffle Removal Prior to Cleaning The 

Chimney 

Before starting to clean your chimney, we 

recommend that you remove the top baffle to 

avoid creosote dust collection at the top of the 

baffle.  Follow these steps to set the top baffle 

out of the way:

1.  Remove the side refractory holder. They are 

located at the top of the refractory. 

2. Lift the front baffle.

3. Slide the back baffle under the front baffle.  

You now have access to the chimney.

Achieving Clean Burns

Check the exhaust in about 15 to 20 minutes 

(see below). Large amounts of smoke indicate 

an improper burn setting (either too high or too 

low). Adjust and recheck in 5 to 10 minutes.

Dealing With a Chimney Fire

Regular chimney maintenance and inspection 

can prevent chimney fires.  If you have a chimney 

fire, follow these steps:

1.  Close the fireplace door and the combustion 

air controls.

2. Alert your family of the possible danger.

3. If you require assistance, alert your fire 

department.

4. If possible, use a dry chemical fire extin-

guisher, baking soda or sand to control the 

fire.  Do not use water as it may cause a 

dangerous steam explosion.

5.  Check outside to ensure that sparks and hot 

embers coming out of the chimney are not 

igniting the roof.

6. Do not use the fireplace again until your 

chimney and fireplace have been inspected 

by a qualified chimney sweep or a Fire 

Department Inspector.

What does “Well-Seasoned” mean?

When a tree is cut down, the wood is green, 

full of sap and moisture. This moisture content 

can exceed 80%, which must be reduced to 

less than 20%. Wood properly seasoned is 

then capable of generating the heat the stove 

was designed to provide.
Green wood does not burn easily.  Attempting to 

burn green wood often results in a lot of smoke 

and very little fire. Time is the most important 

factor in seasoning wood.  Ideally the moisture

content should be reduced to 11-20%.  

NOTE: 

The use of a firewood moisture meter is rec-

ommended to ensure the firewood contains 

less than 20% moisture.

Seasoning Guide

Softwoods  -  6 months to 18 months

Hardwoods  -  12 months to 24 months
Logs that are 5” diameter across or larger should 

be split in half, three pieces if over 8 inches, and 

four pieces when over a foot across.  If a tree 

has been dead for 2  -  4 years it still needs to 

be cut, split, and seasoned for 6 to 24 months 

depending on the wood.

Prohibited Fuels

This heater is designed to burn natural wood 

only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions 

generally result when burning air dried seasoned 

hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to 

green or freshly cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN:

• Garbage;

•  Lawn clippings or yard waste;

•  Materials containing rubber, including tires;

•  Materials containing plastic;

• Waste petroleum products, paints or paint 

thinners, or asphalt products;

•  Materials containing asbestos;

•  Construction or demolition debris;

•  Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;

•  Manure or animal remains;

•  Salt water driftwood or other previously salt 

water saturated materials;

•  Unseasoned wood;

•  Christmas tree branches;

• Paper products, colored paper, cardboard, 

plywood, or particleboard; 

• gasoline;

• naphtha;

•  engine oil; 

•  flammable liquids; 

• solvents;

•  grease; or

• coal

The prohibition against burning these materials 

does not prohibit the use of fire starters made 

from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and 

similar substances for the purpose of starting 

a fire in an affected wood heater.
Burning these materials may result in release 

of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective 

and cause smoke. Intense firing with these 

materials may overheat the fireplace, causing 

damage to the unit, a fire or even possibly ignit-

ing a chimney fire if the chimney is creosoted.  

Burning unapproved fuel, resulting in excessive 

pollutants being emitted, may be prohibited and 

subject to a fine or other penalty by the authority 

having jurisdiction in your area.
