c. Cold Chimney temperature
Avoid cold chimney temperatures by burning a hot
fire for the first fifteen to forty minutes, being careful
not to over fire. If any part of the chimney or parts of
the stove start to glow, you are over firing the stove.
Where possible, install a temperature gauge on the
chimney so temperature drops can be seen.
d. Chimney Installation and Maintenance
Avoid using too many elbows or long horizontal
runs. If in doubt, contact a chimney expert and/or
chimney manufacturer for help. Clean chimney, rain
caps and especially spark arrester regularly, to pre-
vent creosote build up, which will significantly re-
duce chimney draw and may cause a chimney fire.
10.Should I close or open the air control fully when
shutting down the stove?
When shutting down the stove, fully open the air con-
trol. This allows the chimney temperatures to remain
as high as possible for as long as possible. Cold chim-
ney temperatures create creosote.
