CHIMNEY VENTILATION AND AIR CIRCULATION
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance
up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too
much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing
into the room and 'plugging' of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will also cause the appliance to leak
smoke into the room through appliance and chimney
connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature
indicates excessive draft.
Please be mindful of installation location: Inversion and
other air quality issues can arise in valleys or if unit is
installed close to neighboring homes. To achieve and
maintain the draft:
• Obey all chimney requirements
• Seal any and all connections of intake and exhaust
piping.
• Avoid elbows and long horizontal runs of piping.
• Clean exhaust piping frequently.
• If another appliance is venting air outside and
creating a negative pressure, air can be sucked
down your chimney in the reverse direction instead
of exhausting out of the heater. Nullify that effect by
opening a nearby door or window.

WARNING:
should be provided from the outdoors
if these or other indications of room air
starvation suggest the need for adequate
ventilation:
• The solid-fuel-fired appliance does not
draw steadily, experiences smoke roll-out,
burns poorly, or back-drafts whether or
not there is combustion present.
• Existing fuel-fired equipment in the
house, such as fireplaces or other
heating appliances, smell, do not operate
properly, suffer smoke roll-out when
opened, or back-draft, whether or not
there is combustion present.
• Any of the above symptoms are
alleviated by opening a window slightly
on a calm (windless) day.
• The house is equipped with a well-sealed
vapor barrier and tight fitting windows
and/or has any powered devices which
exhaust house air.
• There is excessive condensation on
windows in the winter and
• A ventilation system is stalled in the
house.
CHIMNEY OPERATION TIPS
Do not expect a heater to draw. It is the chimney that
creates the draft. Smoke spillage into the house or
excessive buildup of water or creosote in the chimney
are warnings that the chimney is not functioning
properly.
Correct problem before using heater. Possible causes
are:
1. The connector pipe may push into the chimney too
far, stopping the draft.
2. Do not connect two heaters into the same chimney
flue.
3. The chimney used for a heater must not be used
to ventilate the cellar or basement. If there is a
cleanout opening at the base of the chimney, it
must be closed tightly.
4. If the chimney is operating too cool, water will
condense in the chimney and run back into the
stove. Creosote formation will be rapid and may
block the chimney. Operate the heater at a high
enough fire to keep the chimney warm preventing
this condensation.
