Design, Installation & Location Considerations Consideration must be given to: • • • • Safety Convenience Traffic flow Chimney and chimney connector required It is a good idea to plan your installation on paper, using exact measurements for clearances and floor protection, before actually beginning the installation.
R Yosemite Wood Stove C. Negative Pressure Draft is the pressure difference needed to vent appliances successfully. Considerations for successful draft include: • Preventing negative pressure • Location of appliance and chimney To minimize the affects of negative air pressure the following must be considered: Negative pressure results from the imbalance of air available for the stove to operate properly. Causes for this imbalance include: • Exhaust fans (kitchen, bath) etc.
R Yosemite Wood Stove D. Flue Draft Considerations F. Tools And Supplies Needed Location of the appliance and chimney will affect performance. As shown in Figure 6.1 on page 6 the chimney should: Before beginning the installation be sure that the following tools and building supplies are available. • Be installed through the warm space enclosed by the building envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially during lighting and die down of the fire. • Penetrate the highest part of the roof.

Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and chimney. • DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START A FIRE. • Do NOT burn treated wood or wood with salt (driftwood). • May generate carbon monooxide if burn material other than wood.
R Yosemite Wood Stove Moisture The majority of the problems appliance owners experience are caused by trying to burn wet, unseasoned wood. • Wet, unseasoned wood requires energy to evaporate the water instead of heating your home, and • Causes evaporating moisture which cools your chimney, accelerating formation of creosote. WARNING In recent years there has been an increasing concern about air quality. Much of the blame for poor air quality has been placed on the burning of wood for home heating.
R Yosemite Wood Stove The Primary Air Control located under the ashlip and adjusts the burn rates. Figure 25.1. 3. Final Stage The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and only charcoal remains. This is a naturally clean portion of the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames.
R Yosemite Wood Stove H. Building A Fire F. Heat Output Settings For maximum operating efficiency with the lowest emissions, follow these operating procedures: Before lighting your first fire make certain that the baffle and blanket are correctly positioned.
