1. Draft is widely misunderstood It is important that you the stove operator realize that draft is a variable effect not a given quantity Stoves and chimneys do not have draft yet draft is the key to your stove s performance Draft is a force produced by an operating stove and the chimney to which it is attached It is created by hot gases rising up the chimney creating a pressure difference between the inside of your home and the outside air It continually moves fresh combustion air into the stove and hot exhaust gases out of the stove without this constant flow the fire will go out Other factors such as barometric pressure winds the airtightness of the home the total inside chimney volume chimney height and the presence of venting devices such as exhaust fans also play a role in maintaining an adequate draft Low barometric pressures super insulated homes and ex haust fans can reduce draft winds can play havoc with draft and too large or too small a chimney volume can cause re duced draft due to the excessive cooling or not enough room to vent exhaust gases quickly Some signs of inadequate draft are smoking odor difficulty in maintaining the fire and low heat output Over draft can be caused by a very tall chimney even if it is the recommended size and can cause overfiring of your stove Signs of an overdraft include rapid fuel consumption inability to slow the fire and parts of the stove or chimney connector TL2. maximum for 5 to 15 minutes Then adjust the air controls and blower speed for the desired heat output Reloading Once you have prepared and maintained a thick char coal bed you should be able to reload the stove allow some burning at the maximum air setting and reset the air control in about five minutes Select hardwoods if possible as they are heavier and contain more heating capacity BTU s per load than do soft woods Wood should be splitand stored under cover for sea soning a year is recommended Your stove is not an incin erator do not burn garbage painted or treated wood plastic or other debris Keep the area around the stove free from clutter Keep all combustibles including fuel beyond the code required clearance distance 48 or 1215 mm in the U S 1525 mm or 60 in Canada Never store fuel in front of the stove where it could interfere with door operation safe loading and ash removal Blower To regulate the speed of the optional con vection blower adjust the control from low to high by turning the knob located on the blower cord Removing Wood Ashes Always wear gloves to remove the ash pan Lift the latch on the ash door and open Pull the ash pan out by the handle Lift the handle to the vertical position to carry the ashes to a disposal location Close the ash door while you are disposing of the ashes The fire will get very hot if the bottom door is left open even for a short period Repla

HDA 18 Of gr Hg 16 Floor Protector 12 1PM 12 Floor Protector The Chimney System Creosote When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapors as well as soot which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue associated with a slow burning fire As a result creosote accumulates on the flue lining When ignited this creosote can result in an extremely hot fire The chimney should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to see if any creosote build up has occurred Checking your chimney and chimney connector more frequently especially while you are getting used to your stove is recommended To inspect this system let the stove cool Using a flashlight and mirror check the interior of the chimney connector and the chimney itself If a significant layer of creosote or soot has accumulated 1 8 or 3 mm it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire To clean deposits from the surface of the connector use a stiff wire brush after dismantling the connector assem bly To clean the chimney use a specially designed brush sized to fit your particular flue opening or call an established chimney cleaning service At the end of the heating season perform a thorough examination of your chimney system and have it repaired if necessary Draft
