Introducing Your
Tribute Wood Stove
Congratulations! You have just invested in a most unique
wood burning stove – the Tribute Wood Burning Stove
from HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products Inc®.
The Tribute Model –8040 is a clean burning EPA
certified, non-catalytic wood burning stove. At 1.1 cubic
feet capacity and 2.97 grams per hour particulate you can
be proud to join the HearthStone family with our Premier
Soap Stone Wood Burning Stove. The front door, along
with the generous depth allow for loading of wood up to
16 inches long!
Locate the stove centrally in your living area to allow the
heat to travel naturally to distant rooms. We recommend
that you do not locate your stove in an uninsulated
basement. The amount of radiant energy required to heat
concrete basement walls is so great that most of the usable
heat is absorbed by them and lost.
SAFETY NOTICE:
A HOUSE FIRE MAY RESULT IF THIS
STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY.
FOR YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY
FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION
DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION

Setting Up Your Tribute
Wood Stove
UNPACKING
HearthStone Stoves packages your Tribute stove with the
greatest care, so that it ships safely. Under certain
circumstances, however, damage can occur during transit
and handling. When you receive your stove, unpack it
carefully, inspecting your stove and all parts for damage.
Also, make sure that all parts are included in the box. If
any parts are damaged or missing, please contact your
dealer immediately.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
First, you must decide where your stove will reside. After
choosing an appropriate spot, inspect this location to
make sure that the stove will have enough clearance to
combustible materials that would surround the stove.
These combustibles can include walls, floor, ceiling,
fireplace, and chimney. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before actually
connecting your stove. When considering these
clearances, also decide the kind of floor the stove will rest
on.
Minimum Hearth Pad Clearances
Clearances To NFPA 211 Protected Surfaces
You can reduce the clearances to combustible surfaces by
using any National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA)
approved wall protection system. Please refer to NFPA
211 for specifications and complete details. You can
obtain this information directly from NFPA.
Please use this section to plan how to locate your stove in
your particular location. Consider both the clearances of
the stovepipe and the stove itself to the surrounding
combustibles.

PROTECTION
Comb ustible flooring must be protected with a UL listed
hearth pad, or in the absence of fabricate one with an R-
value of 0.6 (slate, marble tiles, or other noncombustible
material can be used for this purpose). The floor
protection must extend beyond the body of the stove at
the minimum as follows:
Read this chapter to obtain a sound understanding of how
to properly install your stove.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, it must be
tested to UL standards and listed. Check the listing of
your pipe for actual clearances. The diagrams in this
manual represent typical installations, but are specific to
the Simpson Dura-Vent DVL brand. Clearances cannot
be reduced without the use of close clearance connector
pipe and/or by protecting the surfaces per NFPA 211
standards.

Floor protector’s come with various types of
specifications. To convert a floor protector’s specification
to an R-value, do one of the following:
An outside air source may
be connected directly to this
stove using an optional
outside air kit. The
advantage of providing
outside air directly to the
stove is that the air used by
the stove for combustion is
taken from outside of the
residence rather than from
within the room where the
stove is located. With
outside air supplied directly
to the stove, drafts within
the room and air infiltration
within the building are
reduced. Use of the outside
air kit may also improve

You must connect your stove to a chimney comparable to
those recommended in this manual. Do not use stovepipe

only to connect the stove to a proper chimney.
SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE
MANUFACTURER OF YOUR CONNECTOR.
Installing a Venting System
Stovepipe sections must be attached to the stove and to
each other with the crimped end toward the stove. If
creosote builds up, this allows the creosote to run into the
stove and not the outside of the stovepipe and onto the
stove.
Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe to the
stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws. Install
#10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metal screws into the
holes pre-drilled in the flue collar. Leaving off the screws
can cause joints to separate from the vibration that results
from a creosote chimney fire.
You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using
additional accessories such as telescoping pipes, slip-
connectors or clean-out tees. These accessories ease the
inspection of your chimney, as well as allow you to easily
dismantle the stovepipe (without moving the stove) when
you periodically inspection the stovepipe connection and
chimney.
Components of a Venting System
The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wall pass-
through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely necessary
that you install all of these components within the
clearances to combustibles discussed earlier to install
your stove safely.
To protect against the possibility of a house fire, you must
properly install and constantly maintain the venting
system. Upon inspection, immediately replace rusted,
cracked, or broken components.

The chimney connector is the stovepipe from the
woodstove to the chimney. The chimney connector
stovepipe must be 6" (152 mm) diameter, 24 MSG or
25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do not use

Install the stove as close as practical to the chimney,
while maintaining all proper clearances. Install stovepipe
that is as short and as straight as possible. Horizontal runs
of stovepipe should always rise away from the stove a
minimum of 1/4" per foot (21mm/m).
building, so it typically operates at lower flue
temperatures than an interior chimney. An exterior
chimney’s draft is not as strong and may experience
increased creosote accumulation.
When connecting the Tribute to a prefabricated metal
chimney, you must follow, precisely, the manufacturer's
installation instructions. Use only Type HT (2100 deg.
F), prefabricated metal chimneys listed per UL 103 or
ULC S629 standards.
Long runs of stovepipe to increase heat dispersal are not
recommended. Using longer lengths of stovepipe or more
connecting elbows than necessary increase the chances of
draft resistance and the accumulation of creosote buildup.
In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe damper
with the Tribute. Some installations, however, could
benefit from a stovepipe damper, such as a tall chimney
which can create a higher than normal draft. In such
cases, a damper can help regulate the draft. The Tribute
requires a draft between 0.06" wc and 0.1" wc. For drafts
above 0.1" wc, install a stovepipe damper. This should be
checked at installation time.
¦
WARNING:
DO NOT CONNECT THE STOVE TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for
the Tribute. The Tribute requires a 6" (152 mm) inside
diameter flue for new installations. A 6” diameter flue
provides adequate draft and performance. You can use an
8" (203 mm) diameter existing flue with a reducer. An
oversized flue contributes to creosote accumulation. (In
this case, bigger is NOT better.)
Remember, the NFPA has recommended, minimum
clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles such
as walls and ceilings. Once the stove is installed at safe
distances from these combustible surfaces, it is important
to maintain these connector clearances for the remainder
of the installation.
When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to install with
your stove, be sure to also purchase from the same
manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceiling support
package), "T" section package, fire-stops (when needed),
insulation shield, roof flashing, chimney cap, and any
other needed accessories. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions when installing the chimney and accessories.
In addition, be sure to maintain all manufacturers’
recommendations for the proper clearances to the
chimney.
CONNECTING YOUR WOOD STOVE
You can install your Tribute to a prefabricated metal
chimney or a masonry chimney.
Connecting to a Prefabricated Metal Chimney
CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY
There are two ways to install a prefabricated metal
chimney:
Consider two primary elements when connecting your
stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself and the
thimble where the stovepipe connects to the chimney.
Use only Code approved masonry chimneys with a flue
liner.
·
·
An interior installation where the chimney passes
inside the residence through the ceiling and roof.
An exterior installation where the chimney passes
through the wall behind the stove then up the outside
of the residence.
Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks, loose
mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage. If
the chimney needs repair, complete them before installing
and using your stove. Do not install your stove until the
chimney is safe for use.
Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. An
interior chimney heats up more quickly and retains its
heat; thus promotes a better draft and discourages the
formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does not
benefit from the warmth of being surrounded by the

Make sure the chimney’s cleanout is complete and
working properly. To avoid a loss of draft, the cleanout
must close off completely. If allowed to cool, your stove
will perform poorly and creosote will build up in the
chimney.
Tee with cleanout
Make sure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate for
this stove and that it is not too large. Use a masonry
chimney with an 8" x 8" (203 mm x 203 mm) tile size for
best results. An oversized flue will contribute to the
accumulation of creosote.

Operating Your
Tribute Wood Stove
Once your Tribute has been set in place, connected, and
assembled, you are ready to light a fire. HearthStone
Stoves tests each wood stove before we ship, so you should
be able to easily light your first fire.

Your Tribute Wood Heater is designed to only burn
firewood-also known as cordwood.

CAUTION:
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLAMMABLE
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA,

HOT WHILE IN OPERATION. KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY. CONTACT MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
Please read this entire chapter before lighting your first fire.
It explains the controls and features of your wood stove,
how to choose firewood, and how to break-in your stove
and use it on a daily basis.
The quality of your firewood affects heat output, duration
of burn and performance of your stove. Softwoods
generally burn hotter and faster, while hardwoods burn
longer and produce more coals. Density and moisture
content are two critical factors to consider when purchasing
wood for your stove.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the location
and operation of your stove's controls and features and learn
how to use them. For your own safety, do not modify these
features in any way.
The following is a list of wood species and their relative
BTU (British Thermal Unit) content. The higher the BTU
the longer the burn. Firewood with higher BTUs is
generally considered ideal for a wood stove.
FRONT DOOR HANDLE: The front door allows you to
load wood into your stove; a fixed handle allows you to
operate the front door and allows you to latch the front door
closed. To open the door, lift the handle to the 10 o’clock
position and pull the door. To latch the door, push the door
closed tightly then lower the handle to the 7 o’clock
position. Pull on the door handle to make sure it is properly
latched.
HIGH: Apple, Black Birch, Hickory, Locust, White Oak,
Black Beech, Mesquite
MEDIUM HIGH: White Ash, Beech, Yellow Birch, Sugar
Maple, Red Oak
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: The handle is located on the
front lower left of the stove, just under the ash lip. The
primary air control allows you to regulate the amount of air
entering the firebox. Generally, the more air allowed into
the firebox, the faster and hotter the rate of burn;
conversely, less air creates a slower burn. To fully open the
primary air intake, move the handle as far as it will go to
the left; move the handle as far as it will go to the right, to
close the primary air control.
MEDIUM LOW: Black Ash, White Birch, Grey Birch, Elm,
Norway Pine, Pitch Pine, Black Cherry, Soft Maple,
Tamarack
LOW: White Pine, White Cedar, Balsam Fir, Spruce,
Aspen, Basswood, Butternut, Hemlock
Moisture content also plays a key role in the performance of
your stove. Wood freshly cut from a living tree (green
wood) contains a great deal of moisture. As you might
expect, green wood has difficulty burning and should be
seasoned before using it in your wood stove. To properly
season green wood, it should be split, stacked and allowed
to air dry for a period of one year.

Stack the firewood on skids or blocks to keep it off the
ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic or tarps that
cover the sides of the woodpile trap moisture and prevent
the wood from drying. As for stacking, an old Vermonter
said, "The spaces between the logs should be large enough
for a mouse to get through, but not for the cat that's chasing
it."
·
·
Do not throw wood into the stove.
Do not use the doors as leverage to force wood into the
stove.
Do not load wood that is encrusted with ice into a
burning stove as the thermal shock can cause damage.
Do not use a manufactured grate. Burn the fire directly
on the soapstone that lines the bottom of the firebox.
·
·
Firewood should not be stored within the stove's specified
clearances to combustible materials.
The bottom layer of soapstone in the firebox is intended to
prevent thermal stress and should remain in place in the fire
box at all times.
BUILDING A FIRE
Once you understand the controls of your wood stove and
have chosen the appropriate firewood, you are ready to start
a fire.
BUILDING A BREAK IN FIRE
1)
Open the front door and place five or six double
sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the center of the
firebox. Arrange kindling in a crisscross pattern over
the newspaper. Kindling should be approximately ten
pieces, 1/2" (13 mm) in diameter and 10" to 18" (254
mm to 457 mm) long.
BREAKING IN YOUR WOOD STOVE
It is imperative that your stove be "broken in" slowly.
Soapstone mu st be "seasoned"; over-firing a new stove may
cause soapstone to crack or may damage other stove parts.
Moisture in the soapstone must be driven out slowly to
minimize the “shock” to the stone of its first exposure to
high firebox temperatures. In addition, the asbestos-free
furnace cement must be cured slowly to insure adequate
sealing and bonding.
2)
3)
Fully open the primary air control by pushing the
control handle fully to the left, away from the firebox.
Light the paper under the kindling. Leave the
door slightly ajar momentarily until the kindling has
started to burn and draft begins to pull.
When you light your first fires, the wood stove will emit
some smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-gassing” of the
paints and oils used when manufacturing the wood stove. If
you find it necessary, open a few windows to vent your
room. The smoke and fumes will usually subside after 10
to 20 minutes of operation. The odor and smoke will end
once the stove is “cured”.
4)
5)
Close the door and allow the fire to burn. Keep
the door closed while the stove is in use.
KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE ON YOUR STOVE
to maintain a steady, low-heat fire. Your first fire
should make the stove warm but not hot to the touch.
At most, a few small chunks of wood should be added
to the fire to reach safe break-in temperatures.
The first fires may produce other odors from impurities that
exist in the area immediately surrounding the stove. Some
of these impurities can be cleaning solvents, paint solvents,
cigarettes, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, a new carpet,
and new textiles. These odors will dissipate over time.
You can alleviate these odors by opening a few windows or
otherwise creating additional ventilation around your stove.
If any odor persists, contact your dealer or an authorized
service technician.
6)
7)
Once the stove is warm but not hot to the touch,
close the primary air control by pushing it fully to the
right to allow the fire to die out completely.
Let the stove return to room temperature.
Your first fire and first fire each season thereafter should be
built and maintained as outlined above. Your patience will
be rewarded by a properly seasoned stove.
If you adhere to the following break-in procedure, as well
as all other operating procedures in this manual, the cast
iron and soapstone components of your stove will give you
many years of trouble-free use. With use, the color of the
soapstone may change and small fractures may appear on
the surface of the stone. These changes will only add
character and distinction to your stove.
NOTE: Because of the cool flue gas temperatures present
during the break-in procedure, creosote may build up
quickly. Your window may get dirty. A good hot fire will
clean it. We recommend a visual inspection (and cleaning if
necessary) of your stovepipe and chimney once the break-in
procedure is completed.
Avoid the following conditions that can cause the soapstone
or cast iron pieces to break:

NORMAL OPERATION
BURN RATE
If your stove is not used continuously or has not been used
in quite some time, follow the break-in procedure at least
once to minimize the stress of a hot fire on a cold stove
before proceeding with normal operation. We recommend
one break-in fire at the start of each heating season. Be
sure to clear the ashes around the “doghouse.” The
doghouse is the sloping piece of metal, located in the front
lower center of the firebox. If the front door is open the
doghouse is in the lower center of the door opening. There
is a hole located on the opposite side, facing into the stove
which lets air into the stove. Obstructing this hole will
hinder the operation of the stove.
HIGH BURN: Fully load the firebox with wood on a bed of
hot coals or on an actively flaming fire and fully open the
primary air control by moving it fully to the left, away from
the firebox. This will fully open the primary air shutter. A
high burn rate is recommended once or twice a day to fully
heat the stovepipe and chimney, which will help minimize
creosote accumulation.
MEDIUM HIGH BURN: With the primary air control in
the closed position, move the control handle slightly to the
left.
MEDIUM LOW BURN: With the primary air control in the
closed position, move the handle half way between the
medium and low settings. A medium-low burn rate should
be the typical setting and is preferable if the stove is to be
left unattended.
BUILDING A FIRE FOR EVERYDAY USE
1) Open the front door and place five or six double
sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the center of
the firebox. Arrange kindling in a crisscross
pattern over the newspaper. Kindling should be
approximately ten pieces, 1/2" (13 mm) in
LOW BURN: Close the primary air control by moving it
fully to the right. A low burn rate over extended periods of
time is not advisable as it may promote the accumulation of
creosote. The venting system should be inspected
frequently if low burn rates are maintained consistently.
diameter and 10" to 18" (254 to 457 mm) long.
2) Fully open the primary air control by pushing it
completely to the left, away from the firebox.
NOTE: If equipped with a blower the following blower
settings are recommended:
3) Light the paper under the kindling. Leave the
front door slightly ajar momentarily until the
kindling has started to burn and draft begins to
pull.
Low and Medium-Low Burn: Set blower on low by turning
the control knob clockwise until the blower is running at a
low speed.
4) Close the door and allow the fire to burn.
Medium High and High Burn: Set blower on high by
turning the control know until the blower is running at a
high speed. The blower will be at its highest setting when
the control knob is turned clockwise to the “ON” position.
By continuing to turn the control know clockwise, the
blower speed will be reduced until it reaches its lowest
setting. It is recommended that the blower is not turned on
for the first 30 minutes of operation.
5) Once the kindling is burning, open the door and
add logs, small at first, to build the fire up. Make
sure to keep the logs away from the glass in front
in order for the air-wash system to work properly.
Otherwise, keep the door closed while the stove is
in use.
6) Once the fire is burning well, use the primary air
control to regulate the desired rate of burn.
Pushing the handle to the left opens the
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL for a high rate of
burn or pushing it to the right for a low rate of
burn.
OVER-FIRE CAUTION
Over-firing means the stove is operating at temperatures
above the recommended temperatures outlined above in the
BURN RATE section. Over-firing should be carefully
avoided since it will cause damage to the stove. Symptoms
of over-firing include short burn times, a roaring sound in
the stove or stovepipe, and discoloration of the stovepipe.
Note: When opening the door to reload or re-arrange
logs, it is advisable to open the door just a crack, pause
for a moment then open the door completely. This
procedure will allow the firebox to clear of smoke
before the door is opened fully. Also, reloading on a
bed of hot, red coals reduces smoking time and will
bring fresh fuel up to a high temperature rapidly.
Over-firing can be caused by excessive draft, inappropriate
fuel, and operator error. Correct an over-fire situation as
follows:

EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your dealer to
have a draft reading taken. Any draft in excess of 0.1 wc
requires a damper in the stovepipe. Some installations may
require more than one damper.
MAINTENANCE
MONITORING STOVE TEMPERATURES
INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn coal, kiln
dried lumber, wax logs or anything other than natural
cordwood.
OPERATOR ERROR: Make sure all the gaskets
are in good condition. Replace worn out or compressed
gaskets. Do not burn the stove with the door in the open
position.
Monitor the stove temperatures with a stove thermometer
(available from your dealer) placed on the top center stone
of the stove. The thermometer could read as high as
500°F(260°C) on High Burn and 200-300°F(93-149°C) on
low burn. Maintaining temperatures in excess of
600°F(316°C) will cause the stones to crack and other
damage to the stove.
Monitoring the temperature of the surface of the top stones
is the best way to determine if the stove is over-firing. If
you suspect that your stove is over-firing, contact your
dealer immediately. Damage done by over-firing is not
covered by your warranty. Results of over-firing can
include: warped or burned out internal parts, cracked
stones, discolored or warped external parts, and damaged
enamel.
Do not over-fire the stove.(refer to page 18).
Damage done by over-firing will void the
warranty.
NOTE: ANY SYMPTOMS OF OVER-FIRING
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!
CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. These creosote vapors condense in the
relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a
result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire,
which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.
When burning wood, the chimney connector and chimney
should be inspected at least once every two months during
the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has
occurred.
REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be removed when the stove is cold. Use
protective fireplace gloves when the pan is warm. Exercise
extreme caution when handling, storing or disposing of
ashes.
The firebox should be cleared of ashes often, and they
should not be allowed to build up more than 3 inches high,
and it is important to prevent ashes from building up around
the dog house.
To prevent the buildup of creosote:
1. Burn the stove with the primary air control
fully open for 35 - 45 minutes daily to burn out creosote
deposits from within the stove and the venting system.
Ashes should be dumped into a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. Do not place any other items or trash into the
metal container. Replace the lid onto the container and
allow the ashes to cool. Do not place the ash disposal
container on a combustible surface or vinyl flooring, as the
container will be hot!
2. After reloading with wood, burn the stove with
the primary air control fully open for 20 to 30 minutes.
This manner of operation ensures early engagement of the
secondary combustion system which, when engaged,
minimizes creosote buildup in the chimney.
Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials. Ashes should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
The stovepipe connector and chimney should be inspected
at least monthly during the heating season to determine if a
creosote build-up has occurred. If a creosote residue
greater that 1/4" (6 mm) has accumulated, it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Ashes should NEVER be placed in wooden or plastic
containers, or in paper or plastic bags, no matter how long
the fire has been out. Coals within a bed of ashes can
remain hot for several days once removed from the firebox.

If your glass is remaining dirty, your operating
temperatures are low; therefore, there is a higher risk of
creosote buildup.
Often, with use and over time, subtle earth tones of brown,
red, and yellow appear on the soapstone. This is a natural
reaction in the soapstone. Surface or hairline fractures may
appear in the stone after a stove has been used. Such
changes are normal and do not affect the operation or the
integrity of the stove and do not require replacement. If you
observe a completely broken stone, contact your dealer for
service.
The venting system must be inspected at the stove
connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to
build creosote deposits quicker, so it is important to check
the chimney at the top (where it is coolest) as well as from
the bottom near the stove.
Accumulated creosote should be removed with a cleaning
brush specifically designed for the type of chimney in use.
A certified chimney sweep should be used to perform this
service. Contact your dealer for the name of a certified
chimney sweep in your area (your dealer may be a certified
sweep!).
GASKETS
Gasket material should normally be replaced every two to
three seasons, depending on stove use. If the door seal is
loose, a new gasket will assure a tight seal and improved
stove performance. Contact your dealer for a gasket kit that
includes instructions and gaskets for your stove.
It is also recommended that before each heating season the
entire system be professionally inspected, cleaned and
repaired, if necessary.
The procedure for replacing gaskets on the glass is
reviewed on page 20.
To replace door gaskets, first remove the old gaskets with a
utility or putty knife. Clean all gasket channels with a wire
brush. Apply gasket cement to the channels and push the
new gasket into place without stretching the gasket
material. The door should be shut immediately to fully
press the gasket into place and assure a positive seal.
CAST IRON
Exterior cast iron parts are either painted with black, high-
temperature stove paint or porcelainized with an enamel
finish in various colors.

TROUBLESHOOTING
phenomenon of air starvation within the building can be
exacerbated if exhaust fans, such as clothes dryers,
bathroom fans or cookstove exhaust fans, are in operation
within the home. Outfitting your stove with the optional
outside air supply adaptor connected to an air duct which
leads to the outside of the building should correct this
problem.
Your Heating Needs
Virtually all woodstove operators experience basic common
problems at one time or another. Most are correctable and
generally require only a minor adjustment of the stove,
installation, or operating technique. In cases where weather
conditions dramatically affect stove performance, the
problems are typically temporary and solve themselves
once the weather changes.
TALL TREES OR BUILDINGS: These obstructions,
when located in proximity to the top of the chimney can
cause chronic or occasional downdrafts. When selecting a
site for a new chimney, take care to consider the placement
of other objects near the proposed chimney location.
If you question whether your stove is producing adequate
heat, the best way to troubleshoot the problem is to monitor
the temperature of the stack. A 400 degree F (200 degree
C) stovepipe confirms the stove is supplying sufficient heat.
Keep in mind that your house itself will regulate
room/house temperatures. How well the walls, floors and
ceilings are insulated, the number and size of glass
windows, the tightness of outside doors, and the
construction or style of your house (vaulted ceilings or
other open spaces which collect large percentages of heat,
ceiling fans, etc.) all are determining factors of room
temperature.
WIND VELOCITY: Generally, the stronger and steadier
a wind, the stronger (better) the draft. However, "gusty"
wind conditions may cause erratic downdrafts.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE: Chimney drafts are
typically sluggish on balmy, wet or muggy days. This is a
weather-related phenomenon, which generally is self-
correcting as the weather changes.
Your stove's performance is also dependant on its
installation. One common cause of poor performance is an
oversized chimney flue. Oversized chimney flues result in
decreased draft, which prevents the smoke from rising out
the chimney. Oversized flues are also more difficult to heat
effectively, especially when burning a high efficiency
stove. Cool flue temperatures inhibit the establishment of a
strong draft (and encourage the accumulation of creosote).
The lack of a strong draft will
BRISKNESS OF FIRE: The hotter the fire in your stove,
the hotter your chimney and, therefore, the stronger the
draft.
BREAKS IN THE VENTING SYSTEM: An unsealed
clean-out door at the bottom of the chimney, leaky
stovepipe joints, a poor stovepipe-to-thimble connection,
missing caps, or a leaky chimney may cause inadequate
draft.
SEASONAL FACTORS: Early fall and late spring are
generally difficult seasons in which to establish proper
drafts. The colder the outside air is (relative to room
temperatures) the stronger the draft.
cause the fire to die down and may even force the smoke to
pour into the room.
If your chimney is the proper size and a strong draft is not
easily established, there is the possibility of the chimney
being too cold. Again, hot chimneys promote a stronger
draft.
Operating the Stove
There are days when a draft is not easily established. As
outlined above, seasonal factors or a cold chimney may be
the cause. Try starting the fire by using small kindling and
fuel to obtain a quick, hot fire. Tend the fire frequently
with small fuel until the chimney is hot and the draft is well
established.
Other draft guidelines are as follows:
AN "AIRTIGHT" HOUSE: If your home is super-
insulated or especially well sealed, the (infiltration) air
supply to the interior of the house may be inadequate. This
