TIPS ON WOOD HEATING

Wood is a renewable energy. It is also a very clean heat source when used with appliances that are certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), a standard accepted in Canada as well.

EPA-certified wood stoves are different than conventional wood stoves. Burning with an EPA-certified wood stove may therefore require that you modify some of your heating habits. To get the most satisfaction out of your new wood-heating system, please make sure you go through the following check list.

 The chimney is the engine that drives the wood-heating system. Use a chimney that

is UL-listed, with an inner diameter to match the stove’s outlet collar (6” for all Drolet wood stoves);

 Try to run the chimney inside the building for as much length as you can. A tall and

warm chimney will produce a good draft;

 Try to install your chimney straight up and avoid 90 degree turns in the flue pipe and

offsets in the chimney;

 Make sure that the chimney is tall enough and its top is clear of obstacles so it can

produce a stable draft;

 Use a chimney thermometer installed at a distance of approximately 18 inches on the

flue pipe above the stove. Flue gases should reach at least 350oF before you close the stove’s primary air intake completely. Operate your unit within the comfort zone indicated on the thermometer;

 To reduce the risk of smoke spillage into the room upon reloading your stove, leave

the primary air intake completely open for a few minutes. This will heat up the chimney and build up draft before you open the stove door;

 Maximize hot air circulation! Our wood stoves are designed to easily receive a

variable speed blower that will improve heat distribution in front of the stove;

 Remember that wood stoves produce radiant heat. Since heat rises, the use of floor

traps will greatly improve the heat transfer to rooms upstairs;

 Use a mobile home approved stove if you are going to install your wood-heating

system in a mobile home. A fresh air kit must be connected to the stove. Never install your wood stove in a bedroom;

 Burn only dry cordwood;  Make sure you have a good bed of red coals before you load your stove with logs

exceeding 3 inches in diameter;

 Read and keep you owner’s manual. It will provide you with tips on how to run a

successful wood-heating system.

ASSEMBLY

PEDESTAL AND DECORATIVE SIDEWALL INSTALLATION

4. Slide the front part of the pedestal base around the pedestal and fix the rear part with the two supplied screws.

5. Slide the ash pan in position

BRICKS AND INSULATION INSTALLATION (HT-1600)

1. Remove from the stove all bricks and insulation.

2. Install all side bricks (11 x 4 1/2" x 9" & 1 x 4 ½” x 8 3/16") as shown in drawing below.

3. Install the back bricks (6 x 4 1/2" x 9")

4. Install the bottom bricks (4 x 4 1/2" x 9") + (2 x 6 " x 8") and the ash cap.

Figure 2: HT-1600 Refractory Bricks Assembly

BRICK AND INSULATION INSTALLATION (HT-2000)

The stove is normally supplied with secondary air tubes in position. To install the baffle bricks and white ceramic insulation, it’s necessary to remove the two front secondary air tubes. First place only one baffle brick and one white ceramic insulation. Use the same method to put the other baffle brick and insulation. Put back in place the secondary air tubes.

Install the yellow insulation and the 6" x 8" or 6" x 6" bricks. Install the side and bottom bricks.

Figure 3: HT-2000 Refractory Bricks Assembly

AIR TUBES INSTALLATION (HT-2000):

The secondary air tubes are painted different colours . The back tube is yellow, the middle on is red and the front is unpainted. Before installing, make sure the locating holes in the tubes (holes near one end of the tube) are on the left side. Insert one tube in the right side air channel and slide it to the right as much as possible. Bring the left end of the tube aligned with the ring welded to the left air channel. Move the tube to the left until the locating holes are aligned with those in the ring. Insert a cutter pin to hold in place. The air injection holes should be facing down in the front and middle tubes.
