The chimney ‘drives’ the system by producing the draft that
draws in combustion air and exhausts smoke and gases to
outdoors.
When installing a new woodburning system or upgrading an
existing one, give as much attention to the chimney as you
do to the appliance that it serves.
The Oval and Sweetheart can be installed in a masonry
chimney which is in compliance with the appropriate standard
or a prefabricated chimney approved to ULC Standard S629
in Canada and UL 103HT in the U.S.
Follow the chimney manufacturer’s directions for installation.
We recommend that prior to installing your stove into a
masonry chimney, you have the chimney inspected by a
be used without the installation of a liner.
The chimney and installation will have to be inspected by
your local building inspector.

stove;
extend at least 3 ft. (92 cm) above the point where it
passes through the roof;
be at least 2 ft. above anything within a 10 ft. (3.048m)
radius of the top of the pipe.
Good draft in a cold chimney should be between 0.01” and
0.15” “water column” (your dealer may be able to check
this for you).

Clearance Reductions
There are many alternate decorative methods to reduce
clearances to combustible materials. See your dealer,
standards are being met with these alternatives. In Canada,
refer to the Installation Code for Solid Fuel Appliances

Chimneys and Draft

To determine thickness of equivalent material required
use formula (“K” x 0.5) / 0.43 = thickness required (“K”
