Components

Familiarize yourself with the components of your stove before installation and operation. This owner’s manual has been designed to assist you in installing, operating and maintaining your Energy King stove efficiently and safely. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.

1. Manual Draft Control. Controls burn rate by regulating air entering the stove. It is located beneath the loading door. Turn the control all the way to the right for maximum air intake, burn rate and heat output, and all the way to the left for minimum air intake and heat output, with a low burn rate.

2. Catalytic Combustors. The wood heaters contain catalytic combustors, which need periodic inspection and replacement for proper operation. It is against the law to operate these stoves in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in this manual or if the catalytic element is deactivated or removed. The catalytic combustors in these stoves are designed to burn the smoke, carbon monoxide and particulate, which are not burned by the fire. Once the fire has been established you can engage the catalytic combustors by shutting the bypass. (Minimum catalytic light off will not occur until the stove reaches 500 degrees F.) (See the instructions on page 21 for replacement of the catalytic combustors.)

3. Bypass. The bypass control is located above the loading door. The bypass control should be pulled out all the way to allow smoke to bypass the catalytic combustor when first starting a fire and until the unit reaches the 500-degree temperature necessary for light off. The catalytic bypass should also be pulled out all the way when loading the stove with fuel.

4. Ash Pan. Designed for easy clean up of ash accumulation. Do not operate the stove with the ash pan open, always keep it closed.

5. Blower. The blower is designed to provide additional heating value and forced air convection. Three speeds allow easy adjustment.

Installation Materials Needed for Your Safety

(Freestanding Stoves)

Chimney Connector. Also known as flue pipe or stovepipe, the chimney connector joins the stove to

the chimney. It should be 6 inch diameter, minimum 24 MSG black or 25 MSG blued steel. Thimble. A manufactured or site-constructed device installed in combustible walls and ceilings

through which the chimney connector passes to the chimney. It is intended to keep walls from igniting.

Chimney. You must use either an approved masonry chimney or a prefabricated 6-inch listed high temperature (tested to 2100 degrees F.) residential and building type heating appliance chimney per UL 103 or ULC S629. The chimney size should not be less than or more than three times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar. Components required by manufacturers for installation such as the chimney support base, firestop (as appropriate), attic insulation shield, insulated tee, etc., are necessary to assure a safe chimney installation. Use only components manufactured for the chimney.

Floor Protector

Stove. Use a listed floor protector or any non-combustible material. Insert. Use a listed floor protector or material having a thermo conductivity of K-O.84 BTU – inches

per foot square – hour – Fahrenheit degrees; or equivalent to 3/8” non-asbestos millboard.

Venting System

Proper draft must be provided for your Energy King unit. Draft is the force that moves air from the stove up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. Too little draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney or catalyst.

The Energy King fireplace insert model Bay 2000C is intended only for installation into a masonry fireplace constructed in accordance with the requirements of the Standard for Chim neys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances, NFPA No. 211, or applicable local code requirements. Please consult local building and fire officials about fire restrictions and installation requirements. FOR USE WITH SOLID FUEL ONLY.

Page 9

Connection to a Masonry Fireplace

There are several kits available to connect the stove to a masonry fireplace. Look for a listed kit. The kit is an adapter that is installed at the location of the fireplace damper. The existing damper may have to be removed to allow installation of the kit. The key points of this type of stove connection are, first, the connector pipe must extend up the chimney above where the fire clay liner starts. Secondly, the areas of the kit installation and connector penetration should fit tightly and be sealed with high temperature furnace cement unless the kit’s instructions state otherwise.

The tight fitting installation aids the proper draw of the chimney.

DO NOT REMOVE BRICKS OR MORTAR FROM MASONRY FIREPLACE. INSTALL AND USE ONLY IN MASONRY FIREPLACE. USE A LISTED FLOOR PROTECTOR OR ANY NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL. FIREPLACE INSERT FLOOR PROTECTOR MUST EXTEND AT LEAST 8 INCHES TO EACH SIDE OF UNIT AND 16 INCHES IN FRONT.

The Bay 2000C will insert into any masonry fireplace that is at least (A) 32” wide, (B) 24” high, and (C) 16” deep.

Before Installation

1. Check to make sure your masonry fireplace and chimney are in safe condition. Check the chimney for cracks, loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration and blockage. The insert should not be installed until it is determined that the chimney is safe for use. Since an oversized flue contributes to the accumulation of creosote, the size of the flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the insert.

The fireplace must be constructed to meet UBC Chapter 37 standards.

2. Clean the fireplace thoroughly.

3. Remove damper plate or block into open position with a non-combustible material.

4. Flue and chimney should be cleaned before installation.

Mount Trim Panels

5. Measure from back of the unit to the front and mark on the sides the location of the support angle.

6. Place the angle on the side of the unit and mark the holes for the locking screws. Drill three 3/16”

holes and bolt in place on both sides of the unit.

7. Bolt side trim panels to the support angle with screws and tinnerman nuts.

8. Mount top panel to side panel.

Brass Trim

9. Place side brass pieces on the side of the trim panels and cut to length.

10. Place top brass piece on top trim panel and cut to length.

11. Place brass corner piece over the side and top pieces. Mark and drill two 3/16” holes through

brass.

12. Drill one 3/16” hole near the bottom of each side brass piece.

13. Using six brass bolts and nuts, bolt brass trim to trim panels.

14. Place insulation around trip panels. Slide insert into masonry fireplace. Be sure to center and

level unit in place. Push tight against fireplace front. Make sure unit is in far enough to allow proper chimney hookup, and smoke outlet is behind fireplace lintel to assure safe operation. If brick is rough, additional insulation may be needed. Use only HIGH HEAT insulation approved for woodburning stoves and inserts.

Direct Connect

The 8” obround connection (cast iron) must be bolted securely to the fireplace and fastened to the chimney liner. A 6” offset direct connection must be used when the installation utilizes a 6” flexible stainless liner.

The flue adaptor must be secured atop the unit for freestanding stove installation. To attach the adaptor:

1. Attach the flat gasket to the adapter.

2. Set the flue adapter onto the top of the flue opening.

3. Center the adapter evenly over the flue.

4. Locate the two J shaped threaded screws. Remove the nut and washer from each. Set them

aside.

5. Lower the J shaped screws into the flue adapter opening, and insert each through the holes in the

adapter and stove.

6. Reaching inside the flue adapter, replace the nut and washer on each J shaped screw.

7. Tighten securely, using a wrench.

When locating your stove, consider safety, convenience, traffic flow, and the fact that the stove will need a chimney and chimney connector.

Your stove should be located away from doors and hallways and in an open area to allow for necessary clearances.

Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood, paper, and other combustibles far away from the stove. Never install the stove in locations where gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter, or any other flammable

liquids are used or store.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS STOVE IN A MOBILE HOME.

A variety of prefabricated clearance reductions systems may be available through your stove dealer. Always look for a safety listing label on the product when selecting a prefabricated clearance reduction system and make sure it is designed for use with a woodstove. Follow exactly the installation instructions provided with this system. Refer to NFPA 211 for clearance reduction methods.

Floor Protector

The stove must be placed on a floor protector if the floor is wood or other combustible flooring. IF CARPETING IS PRESENT, IT MUST BE REMOVED. THE FLOOR PROTECTOR MUST NOT BE PLACED ON CARPET. The floor protector must extend at least 8 inches from the sides and back of the stove, and 16 inches from the door of the stove. Insulate this area with 3/8” millboard or equivalent (R Factor = .75) The overall base size is 50” x 50” minimum.

Page 14

Venting System

A chimney connector and chimney make up the venting system. Inside, chimney temperatures may exceed 2000 degrees F. To protect against a chimney fire, the connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained. When a connection is made through a combustible wall to the chimney, a thimble must be used. A chimney support package must be used when a connection is made through the ceiling to a prefabricated chimney. These accessories are of primary importance to provide safe clearances to combustible wall and ceiling materials.

The unit may be connected to either a code approved masonry chimney with a flue liner or a prefabricated listed high temperature (tested to 2100 degrees F) residential and building type heating appliance chimney per UL 103 or ULC S629. The chimney size should not be less than or more than three times greater than the cross-sectional area of the flue collar. Do not connect it to a chimney

serving another appliance.

Proper draft must be provided for your Energy King unit. Draft is the force that moves air from the stove up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions, and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the stove and may damage the catalytic combustor. Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and plugging of the chimney or catalyst.

Chimney Connector

Your chimney connector should be 6-inch diameter, minimum 24 MSG black or 25 MSG blued steel. Aluminum and galvanized steel should not be used, since they cannot withstand the high temperatures a wood fire produces. Never use chimney connector pipe as a chimney. You must connect your stove to a chimney like those illustrated in this manual. DO NOT PASS CHIMNEY CONNECTOR THROUGH

COMBUSTIBLE WALL OR CEILING.

Chimney connector sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped end toward the stove. This allows creosote to run into the stove and not onto the outside of the pipe. All joints, including transition to chimney connector, should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Otherwise, in the event of a creosote fire, the connector may vibrate apart.

For proper operation, the chimney connector should be as short as possible. Horizontal lengths of chimney connector should have an upward slope from the stove of ¼ inch per foot.

Maintain 18 inches clearance between the chimney conne ctor an d the wall and ceiling unless a wall protection system is installed.

When installing the stove into a masonry chimney, be sure to check for signs of deterioration and blockage. Once the chimney is determined to be safe, installation can proceed. The size of the flue should also be checked. The chimney must have a fire clay liner or stainless steel lining must be installed. The stainless steel lining should be single wall pipe, 6 inches in diameter, a minimum 24 gauge. If a flue lining is used, an air space between the flue liner and the chimney wall of ½ inch must be maintained.

A list of the more important minimum requirements for a properly constructed chimney follows.

Page 15

1. For proper operation and safety, the chimney must be at least 3 feet higher than the highest point where it passes through the roof, and at least 2 feet higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10 feet of the chimney, measured horizontally.

2. Class A chimneys on the outside of the house must have a minimum of one inch clearance to the combustible structure, while a chimney inside the house and through the ceiling must have at least two inches of clearance to the combustible structures. At all points where the chimney passes through floors and/or ceiling, fire stops must be installed. An air space between the chimney and insulation of 2 inches or more must be maintained.

3. The wall of the Class A chimney, if constructed of brick or modular block, must measure a minimum of 4 inches nominal thickness. Mountain or rubble stone wall must be at least 12 inches thick.

4. Installation of single wall pipe from the heater to the masonry flue should rise ½ inch per every one foot of pipe distance from the heater to the chimney.

Page 16

Firestopping

Remember that insulation must not contact the chimney. There must be air space around the chimney.

Insulation must be 2 inches or more from the chimney.

DO NOT PASS CHIMNEY CONNECTOR THROUGH COMBUSTIBLE WALL OR CEILING. SEE LOCAL BUILDING CODE AND MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR PRECAUTIONS REQUIRED FOR PASSING THROUGH COMBUSTIBLE WALL OR CEILINGS .

Page 17

Thimble

When installation entails connection from the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, a thimble must be used.

Two of several methods of connection through a combustible wall are illustrated below. For alternatives, consult your local building authority or NFPA 211.

Listed prefabricated metal thimbles can be bought for use with woodstoves. The manufacturer’s installation for the thimbles must be strictly followed. Maintain all designated clearance to combustible materials.

Page 18

Brick Chimney Thimble Assembly

Construction of the brick thimble assembly requires 12 inches of brick around a fire clay liner. Be sure the point of penetration allows an 18” clearance from the connector to the ceiling. An opening of 32 inches (for a 6-inch chimney connector) must be cut in the wall to maintain the required 12 inches of brick separation from combustibles. It will be necessary to cut wall studs and install a header and sill frame to maintain proper dimensions and to hold the weight of the brick.

Minimum 3 ½” (4 inch nominal) thick solid bricks are to be used. The fire clay liner (ASTM C35 or equivalent), minimum 5/8 inch wall thickness, must not penetrate into the chimney beyond the inner surface of the chimney flue liner and must be firmly cemented in place. If it is necessary to cut a hole in the chimney liner, use extreme care to keep it from shattering. Refractory mortar must be used at the junction to the chimney liner. After the assembly is complete, insert the chimney connector in the fire clay liner. Do not push it beyond the inside edge of the chimney liner because this will affect the draw of the chimney.

Page 19

Install an attic insulation shield to maintain the specified clearance to insulation. Insulation in this air space will cause a heat buildup that may ignite the ceiling joists.

This method of installation requires at a minimum a ceiling support package, an insulation shield and roof flashing.

Page 20

This method of installation requires at a minimum a wall pass through device, a wall support package and insulated “T” section and roof flashing

Operating Your Energy King

What is a Catalytic Woodstove?

A catalytic combustor is an element which, when used properly in a woodbu carbon monoxide and particulate which are not burned by the fire. Think of it as an “after burner” which, because of a “catalyst,” chemically breaks down smoke, carbon monoxide and particulate into substance s that are burned at a low temperature.

rning appliance, will “burn” smoke,

Using Your Catalytic Woodstove

The most important thing to remember when operating a catalytic combustor eq make sure you have achieved catalytic light off before you place the unit into the catalytic operational mode. Light off simply means that you have achieved enough temperature within your unit to start the catalytic combustor operating.

Catalytic burning, like all types of burning, requires three e “smoke” is the fuel. The temperature needed to begin catalytic activity is generally 500 to 700 degrees F. This is a temperature that is easily achieved when you build a fresh fire or when you reload your existing fire.

The use of a magnetic thermometer, a probe thermometer, or vari today will be of help to you in determining if you have achieved the necessary temperature. The monitor port for the temperature monitor equipment is located 2” to the left of the bypass pull rod.

Your Energy King stove is equipped with a bypass mech to “bypass” the smoke around the combustor when you do not have the necessary 500 degrees to start catalytic activity or when you are reloading your stove. To aid in catalytic light off, coals should be moved aside at the front of the door opening and a tunnel made under the fuel.

The other important thing to remember when operating a catalytic burning device) is to burn seasoned, dry wood only and not to use your wood burning stove or insert as a “garbage incinerator.” A “catalyst” is an element that causes something to happen under conditions by which they would not normally happen, without being consumed or used up by the reaction. In a wood burning appliance, this simply means that the catalyst is allowing the smoke to be burned at 500 to 700 degrees F. rather than the normal 1,100 to 1,200 degrees F. that it would take to burn all elements.

There are elements in garbage, other than dried, seasoned wood t these elements are lead, sulfur, etc., and as they come in contact with the catalyst, they stick to it, covering it up, so that the elements in wood smoke such as hydrocarbons, particulate and carbon monoxide ca nnot contact the catalyst and are not burned. This process is referred to as “poisoning”, and after a period, the catalyst is covered and your catalytic combustor will no longer work. How long this proce s s will take to completely cover all the catalyst depends on what you burn in our stove.

How do I know my catalytic combustor is working?

Ask yourself the following questions. If your answers are yes, your catalytic combustor is working properly.

1. Am I burning less wood to get the same amount of heat?

2. Does my combustor glow red for a short amount of the time (approximately 1-1/2 hours) during my wood

load?

3. Is there substantially less creosote in my chimney?

4. Is the smoke exiting my chimney white in color and usually odorless?

5. Does a visual inspection of the combustor show it to be clean of any fly ash, creosote or soot? If the answer to any of the above questions is no, the solutions outlined previously may help you to activate

your combustor again

Page 24

Replacing Your Catalytic Combustor

Visually inspect the catalytic combustor at least three times during the heating season to determine if physical deterioration has occurred. Only replace the combustor if it is damaged or no longer operating and use only Applied Ceramics Combustors. (See Applied Ceramics Warranty for information on replacement)

The Energy King fireplace has two catalytic combustors. To replace combustors, look up inside the stove and locate the catalytic combustor retainer plate with holes across its surface. Remove the bolts on each side of the plate and remove the plate. Next, remove the catalytic combustor. Position the replacement catalytic combustors snugly and replace the retainer plate, tightly bolting the plate on both sides.

1. Before building a fire, open the bypass, located above the door, to the open position by pulling it all the way out.

2. Open the air control, located above the door, by turning it all the way to the left.

3. Start your fire with paper and kindling on the firebrick refractory hearth. Do not elevate the fire with grates or andirons.

4. Once the fire establishes coals, move the coals aside at the front of the door opening and form a tunnel under the fuel. This will help light off to occur.

5. Add wood to the fire.

6. Continue to burn your fire with the air control fully open for 20 to 45 minutes. This insures that the stove, catalyst, and fuel are all stabilized to proper operating temperature. Even though it is possible to have gas temperatures reach 600 degrees F. within two or three minutes after a fire is started, if the fire is allowed to die down immediately, it may go out or the combustor may stop working. Once the combustor starts working, heat generated in it by burning the smoke will keep it working.

7. After 45 minutes, close the bypass.

8. Close the air control half way for maximum fuel efficiency and burn time.

9. When fueling your Energy King, open the bypass and air control all the way and wait a short time before opening the door. This will eliminate the risk of flame and smoke spillage.

10. Once the stove is fueled, reset the bypass to the closed position, and the air control to medium.

11. During the refueling and rekindling of a cool fire, or a fire that has burned down to the charcoal phase, operate the stove at a medium to high fire rate for about ten minutes to insure that the catalyst reached approximately 600 degrees F.

Wood

Choosing the kind of firewood to burn in your stove depends on what is available to you. If all you can obtain is softwoods, obviously, that will be your choice.

Softwoods, such as pine and fir, are easily ignited and burn rapidly with hot flames. However, since they burn so easily and quickly, you will have to spend more time loading your stove, especially in the high burn rate. With softwoods, it will be much more difficult to achieve an overnight burn.

It is best to use more dense hardwoods for a longer lasting fire. It is also a good idea once the fire is established to use larger diameter wood stacked tightly together. This will promote a longer bu rn time.

So that you have an idea of how firewood is sold, you should first know that the most common measurement is the standard “Cord.” A cord is a nicely stacked pile of wood that measures, 4’ x 4’ x 8’. ALWAYS look for the driest wood especially if you must purchase wood by weight. Unseasoned, wet wood is much heavier.

If your are going to cut your own wood, plan on drying your wood at least 6 months to 1 year. Stack the wood in such a way as to allow air to circulate through the wood. Wood should be stored in a well sheltered, ventilated area to allow proper drying during the year to come.

Maintaining Your Energy King

At the end of each heating season, clean the chimney. Vacuum out any ash accumulation. Replace any worn gaskets or broken firebrick.

Disposal of Ashes

The ash pan is located in the left bottom access door. To remove ash pan, turn locking lever to the left and pull out. Ashes should be removed year round and stored in a fireproof metal container with a tight fitting lid. The container should be kept on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders are thoroughly cool. An accumulation of too much ash restricts airflow an d reduces the available burning area. A ½” to 1” layer of ash should be maintained, however, to support combustion and insulate the bottom of the firebox. Be sure to lock ash pan in place by turning locking lever to the right.

Page 28

Creosote – Formation and Need for Removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organi moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a newly started fire or from a slow burning fire. Therefore, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire that may damage the chimney or even destroy the house.

The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected at lea season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build

Gasket Replacement

Door and glass gaskets need to be replaced on an annual ba sis to insure that the stove remains airtight. Failure of the door or glass gaskets will allow additional air to enter the stove and drastically decrease the burn time of your fuel.

To check for gasket failure, start a fire in the stove. Once you have a well established fire, damper the stove down. Next take a lit match and direct it along the edge of the door and stove. Do the same along the inside edge of the door and glass. If you notice the flame from the match being drawn to the gap, there is an air leak in the gasket and it needs to be replaced.

Door Gasket. To replace the door gasket, simply remove the door and lay it face down on a clean soft surface, such as a towel. Find the ends of the gasket and pull it off. Take a screwdriver and remove excess gasket glue from the channel. Take new stove gasket cement (available at your local woodstove retailer or hardware store) and lay a medium to heavy bead around the gasket channel. Take the new door gasket (also available at your local woodstove retailer or hardware store) and lay it in the channel. Cut off any excess gasket rope. Reattach door and seal. Leave the door closed until the gasket cement dries.

Glass Gasket. To replace the glass gasket, remove the glass retaining clips along the inside of the stove door. Remove the glass. Remove the old gasket by pulling it off. Take the new gasket (available at your local woodstove dealer) and peel off the protective paper. Place the new gasket around the edge of the glass. Trim off any excess gasket. Replace glass and clips.

Use and Maintenance of a Catalyst

1. Do not “Hot Fire” the stove. For many years, retailers and in

build an extra hot fire to burn the creosote deposits in the flue system. This advice may be acceptable for non-cat stoves, but can be death to a catalyst. Why? Because the catalyst is reducing the particulate, or creosote buildup, therefore, the need to Hot Fire is eliminated. Also, see point #2.

2. Direct Flame contact is death to a catalyst. A catalyst burns th

gases such as CO, HC, and O2 ignite with each other in the presence of the catalyst, (while passing through the honeycomb configuration). This is a chemical reaction. Direct flame inhibits this reaction by changing the chemical makeup of the catalyst. The flame also breaks down the substrate or ceramic. This problem is called flame impingement. Today’s modern stoves are designed so that flame impingement is unlikely. However, a strong, fast draft into the catalyst. Or a “hot fire,” with all the air controls and/or the ash door open, can literally torch the catalyst. Controlling the draft also can reduce fly ash problems

3. The “Glow” misconception: A catalyst can glow d

uring determination that a catalyst is not working simply because it does not “glow” is inaccurate. During the low burn cycle, when the catalyst is doing the bulk of its work, it usually does not glow. Also extremely dry wood (oak, ash, etc.) can burn clean enough not to produce a glow in the converter.

4. Light off Temperature: CO conversion in the Applied Cerami temperature. Usually a normal startup to produce a coal bed will produce more than sufficient temperatures to begin catalytic combustion.

5. The catalyst is not consumed or “used up”. The natu

re of a catalytic rea

cts of wood burning such as potassium. This is chemical

A catalyst can be “saturated” with byp

rodu saturation. The prohibitive chemical will fill in the chemical “holes” that the gases normally use for reaction. This process of “saturation” can be slowed by regular maintenance of the catalyst. “Saturation” can take several years. Burning garbage, painted woods, or large amounts of colored paper can poison your unit. Poisoning however is very difficult to do. Burning colored paper causes more of a fly ash problem than a risk of poisoning. NEVER BURN RUBBER OR PLASTIC.

When a catalyst has ceased to be effective, you will notice in sweep will notice increased creosote in your system. Before you replace the unit, review this sheet. If you find that your catalyst should be replaced, follow the instructions for warranty replacement that were provided when your unit was purchased.

Cleaning the catalyst with plain water can reduce bui

ldup of the catalyst - retardi Nothing but a soft brush, low-pressured air or plain water should be used to clean a catalyst. The ceramic unit is fragile in comparison to the rest of the stove – so it should be handled with care. A soak in warm or hot (not boiling water) for 20 minutes is ideal. Then allow the unit to cool at room temperature and rinse under medium pressure under a faucet. Allow the unit to thoroughly dry before reinstalling it or you will damage it. Then reinstall the unit according to the stove maker’s or retrofit manufacturer’s instructions. A cleaning once every year is sufficient for most users. Clean it when you have your flue system cleaned.

Frequently asked questions

Q. “How can I tell if I am operating my woodstove properly?” R. Check the exhaust coming out of your wood

stove chimney. The smoke i barometer. If your fire is burning properly, you should only see the white transparent steam of evaporating water, darker and opaque smoke will only be slightly visible. The darker the color of the exhaust, the less efficiently you are operating the appliance. It may be necessary to adjust the operation of your woodstove to decrease the opacity of the exhaust (that is, the density of the smoke).

Q. “Once I have preheated my chimney, ho

w should I op

erate the stove?”

R. Although all woodstoves require preheating during startup and rel

afterwards vary somewhat. Woodstoves that use catalytic combustors require the monitoring of temperatures and air supply to ensure that the catalyst engages at appropriate times in the combustion cycle. Generally, catalytic stoves require lower combustion temperatures in the firebox to burn cleanly. At 500-1000 degrees F., the catalyst ignites, burning the volatile gases and particulate. Noncatalytic stoves attain much higher temperatures in the combustion path before the gases and particulate burn. Always refer to your woodstove manufacturer’s operation manual and follow the instructions for your particular make and model.

Q. Do I operate my stove differently in col

d vs. warm

weather conditions?”

R. Yes, during the warmer seasons of spring and fall, control the total heat output by limiting the

amount of fuel

(wood) rather than by closing down the air supply. Make shorter, hot fires using more finely split wood. The actual air supply setting will vary according to your stove instructions, but the fuel loadings will be consistently smaller. Let the fire burn out rather than smolder at low air supply settings. When your home requires more heat, restart the fire with kindling as always, but add smaller fuel loads. This allows your stove to operate at maximum efficiency and with minimum emissions. Avoid the temptation of building a big fire and then starving it for air.

Q. “Is it important to have my

stove and chi

mney cleaned?”

R. Smoke rising through your chimney may condense and build up on the cooler in side walls

forming a subs

tance known as creosote. This volatile substance can ignite and burn in the chimney. Many chimneys and installations are unable to withstand these dangerous creosote fires; the results can be tragic.

Q. “How often should I have my chimney inspected and cleaned?” R. A professional, certified chi

mney sweep

should inspect and clean your flue system regularly. Frequent stove use may require monthly chimney inspection and cleaning while even minimal use will require annual servicing.

Woodstove connectors (stovepipes)

should be

checked as often as every 2-4 weeks. Your
