CHIMNEY
It is extremely important that a Crossfire stove be vented into a non defective, clean, and properly lined
chimney. The chimney system must conform to all local building codes. In the event a masonry
chimney is not used, a listed factory-built chimney suitable for use with solid fuels should be used.
This listed factory-built chimney system must conform to ULC-S629 (Canada) or UL 103HT (United
States.) Any chimney can and should be lined with a 3 inch (under 10 feet) or 4 inch (over 10 feet)
stainless steel flue liner attached directly to the outlet pipe of the Crossfire stove. DO NOT
CONNECT ANY CROSSFIRE APPLIANCE TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
FIGURE 12 and FIGURE 13 illustrate both masonry and zero clearance chimney connections for both
masonry and factory-built chimney applications. If installations require something different than one of
these illustrated methodologies, please contact a local code official and a professional installer to ensure
the proposed installation is code approved. All flue joints require 3 screws to secure the joints.

FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEY
For any factory-built chimney installation, in conjunction with a Crossfire insert, the homeowner should
refer to the chimney manufacturer’s instructions. It is important that in addition to manufacturer’s
instructions, the homeowner must follow all national and local codes during the installation process.
The Crossfire insert clearances to combustible materials, listed in TABLE 3 must be maintained. If
local code allows, these distances can be reduced when acceptable shielding is provided. Consult a
local code authority and professional installer to ensure that a specific installation meets proper code.
MASONRY BUILT CHIMNEY
Before connecting the Crossfire to a chimney, be sure to have the chimney inspected by a chimney
professional and cleaned, if necessary. The chimney should have a liner that is free from cracks,
deterioration, softening, or other damage that may prevent it from containing the byproducts of
