18. It is the chimney that creates draft THE STOVE DOES NOT AND CANNOT CREATE DRAFT The chimney provides two vital functions for proper stove operation First it is the passage to exhaust smoke and hot gases created in the combustion pro cess Secondly it supplies the draft or pressure to bring oxygen to the fire to sustain combustion Draft is the natural movement of air or gases through a chimney Chimney draft comes from the natural tendency for hot less dense air to rise As the hot air rises within the chimney it creates a lower pressure at the bottom of the chimney to which the stove is connected The higher pressure air outside the stove then rushes into the stove where the lower air pressure level exists thus bringing oxygen to the fire This constant flow of air is referred to as the draft Many factors or combination of factors can act together to build or impede the draft Without the correct amount of draft the stove will not operate properly Page 18 TR009 PERFORMER If there is excessive draft an unsafe condition will arise with too much air being drawn into the stove and creating an excessively hot fire This could cause over firing which runs the risk of igniting structural elements around the stove and chimney The most common experience is that of insufficient draft Under insufficient draft conditions the fire will be starved for oxygen improper or incomplete combustion occurs resulting in smoke spillage into t
