FIREBRICK ASSEMBLY
CAUTION: REPLACE FIREBRICKS BEFORE
FIRING WOODSTOVE. POSITION FIREBRICKS
SO NO GAPS REMAIN BETWEEN BRICKS.
Firebrick protects the stove body, extends the
life of your stove and radiates heat more evenly.
Check to see that all firebricks are in their correct
positions and have not become misaligned during shipping or assembly. If removed for ease of
locating stove, firebrick must be replaced before
firing. There are four different full-sized bricks
(A, K, F, D) and three (E, G, H) with notches.
See diagram, fig. 6, for proper positioning.
CAUTION: NEVER OPERATE STOVE WITH
MISSING OR CRACKED FIRE BRICKS!

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION
1. The tapered end of the connector stovepipe fits
into the stove flue collar.
2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards
towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of
horizontal run.
3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance
between any horizontal piping and the ceil-
ing.
4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney flue
(figure 7).
5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet
metal screws at each joint to make the piping
rigid.
6. It is recommended that no more than two (2) 90
degree bends be used in the stovepipe installa-
tion. The use of more than two 90 degree bends
may decrease the amount of draw and possibly
CORRECT WRONG WRONG
cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only
corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These provide a better seal.
7. The connector pipe must not pass through an
attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed
space, or floor, ceiling, wall or combustible
construction. (See Chimney Connector Systems & Clearances, page 19). A UL 103 HT
Listed chimney must be used from the first
penetration of ceiling or wall to the chimney
cap. Never use single wall connector pipe as
a chimney - a house fire could result.
NOTE: CONNECTOR PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED.

The stove must be connected to either a masonry or manufactured metal chimney built and
tested to the specifications listed on the previous
pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:
1). As a means of exhausting smoke and flue
gases which are the result of fuel combustion.
2). The chimney provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into the
tor stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown in
figure 8.
If the connector stove pipe must go through
a combustible wall before entering the masonry
chimney, consult a qualified mason or chimney
dealer. The installation must conform to local
building and fire codes and latest edition of NFPA
appliance, so that proper combustion is possible.
This stove relies on natural draft to operate.
NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air
into the room where the stove is located. Failure
to do so may result in air starvation of other fuel
burning appliances and the possible development
of hazardous conditions, fire or death.
Your stove itself does not create draft. Draft is
provided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft
your chimney must meet the three minimum height
requirements detailed in figures 9–11. A minimum
of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water column) is required
for proper drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke
spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges to
measure draft are readily available at stove stores
and are economical to rent or purchase.)

If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the
Factors such as wind, barometric pressure,
trees, terrain and chimney temperature can have
an adverse effect on the draft. The manufacturer
cannot be held responsible for external factors
leading to less than optimal drafting.
Should you have a problem with inadequate
draft, you should contact a licensed heating and
cooling contractor for assistance in solving the
problem.
IMPORTANT Installation Points
1. Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stove
requires a 6” diameter flue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serv-
ing another appliance.
3. The chimney must meet all minimum
height requirements.
4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar
or basement.
5. Contact your local building authority
for approved methods of installation and any
necessary permits and/or inspections.
MASONRY CHIMNEY
Before using an existing masonry chimney,
clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and make
any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connec-
