Environmental Conditions
High trees, low lying house location such as in a
valley, tall buildings or structures surrounding your
house and windy conditions can cause pool draft or
down drafting.
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.
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 prevent cresote
build-up, which will significantly reduce 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
control. This allows the chimney temperatures to
remain as high as possible for as long as possible.
Cold chimney temperatures create creosote.
