FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
Firebrick extends the life of your stove and radiates
heat more evenly. Check to see that all firebricks are in
their correct positions and have not become misaligned
during shipping or assembly. If removed for ease of lo-
cating stove,
firebrick must be replaced before firing.
See figures 7a – 7c, for proper positioning.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE STOVE WITH
MISSING OR CRACKED FIRE BRICKS!

CHIMNEY SIZING
Today’s solid fuel heating appliances are much
more efficient than those made in the past. Your heat-
ing appliance has been designed to provide the most
efficient transfer of heat possible from the least amount
of fuel.
Controlled combustion is the key to optimum heat-
ing performance. Controlled combustion requires a flow
of fresh air into the appliance, across the fuel and is
finally exhausted up the chimney.
Today’s high efficiency stoves transfer more heat
into the living area and less up the chimney. Exhaust
gases are typically at a lower temperature than tradi-
tional type stoves. With lower exhaust temperatures, it
is important that the chimney is correctly sized to the
stove. If the chimney diameter is too large, it will be dif-
ficult to raise the chimney flue temperature to provide for
adequate draft. This may result in a poor burn, smoke
spillage, and rapid creosote creation. A 6”/152mm
diameter chimney is best suited for this stove.
Your heating appliance must have a minimum of a
6”/152mm diameter chimney. Maximum chimney
diameter must not exceed 10˝ /254mm or have a cross
sectional area greater than 85 sq. in. /550cm
2 .
Proper draft for this heating appliance is minimum of
0.05 w.c. (water column measurement) and is required
to prevent back puffing, smoke spillage and prevent
safety hazards.
