it must not be too big otherwise the chimney will
experience problems in heating itself and this may
generate problems like weak draught and conden-
sation. In table 1 it is indicated the recommended
diameter for the flue according to the height of
the chimney (H). The height of the chimney must
be enough to insure the draught necessary to the
chosen model. Bigger is the height of the chimney,

FLUE
The flue must be well isolated and circular if possi-
ble. The flue must not have defects, narrowings or
losses. All the inspection doors must be closed and

CHIMNEY POT
The chimney pot must have an exit section dou-
bled than the one of the chimney, in order to make
easier the exit of the smoke. The chimney pot must
be enough tall to lean out over the reflow zone
generated by the roof: if you are not sure about
bigger is the draught; if the chimney is lower than 4
metres, the correct working of the cooker is not in-
sured. The chimney must not have tortuous parts,
horizontal parts or counterslope parts; the number
of bends must be reduced to minimum. In picture 7
you can see some examples of good and bad chim-
ney connection.
