Chimney connections The stove must be connected to either a masonry or manufactured metal chimney built and tested to the specifications listed on the previous pages. Chimneys perform two functions: 1). As a means of exhausting smoke and flue gases which are the result of fuel combustion. 2). The chimney provides “draft” which allows oxygen to be continuously introduced into the appliance, so that proper combustion is possible. This stove relies on natural draft to operate.

Maintenance & Service Hints 2. BURN ONLY SEASONED WOOD that has dried for at least one year. (<20% humidity by weight) 3. Burn hardwood rather than softwood. Hardwood is denser or heavier wood and burns hotter. 4. Do not attempt to burn (or mix in) green or wet wood. The use of green or wet wood will cause a rapid build up of creosote. Wood that hisses, sizzles and blackens without igniting in five minutes must be considered too wet to burn. 5. Do not attempt to extend the burn time by using wet wood.
