CHIMNEY
OPERATION
Do not use a grate or elevate the fire. Build the wood fire directly on the bricks. When the stove
is used for the first time, solvents in the paint will smoke off as the stove “cures.”
WOOD –
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiency and lower emissions
generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hardwood, as compared to softwood or to green
or freshly-cut hardwood.
Use only dry, seasoned wood. Green wood, besides burning at only 60 percent of the fuel value
of dry wood, deposits creosote on the inside of the stove and along the chimney. This can cause
extreme danger of chimney fire. To be called “seasoned,” wood must be dried for a year.
Regardless of whether the wood is green or seasoned, it should be stored in a ventilated,
sheltered area to allow proper drying during the year. Wood should be stored beyond
recommended clearances from combustibles.
DO NOT BURN:
Treated Wood, Garbage, Solvents, Trash, Cardboard, Colored Paper or Coal.

FOR APPROVED METHODS OF INSTALLATION
1. This appliance requires a masonry or pre-
manufactured chimney listed to UL103HT
sized correctly.
2. If a masonry chimney is used, it is
advisable to have your chimney inspected
for cracks, and check the general condition
before installing your unit. Relining may
be required to reduce the flue diameter
to the appropriate functional size.
3. To help ensure a good draft, the top of the
chimney should be at least 3 feet above
the point of penetration through the roof,
and be at least 2 feet higher than any point
of the roof within 10 feet.
4. The chimney connector shall not pass
through an attic, roof space, closet,
concealed space, floor, ceiling, wall, or any
partition of combustible construction.
5. The minimum overall height of your
chimney should be 15 feet from the floor.
6. Do not use makeshift compromises during
installation.
