4 4 Chimneys & Venting
A. Venting & Draft Management
A stove is part of a system, which includes the chimney, the
operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system
willaecthowwell thestoveworks.Whenthere isagood
matchbetweenalltheparts,thesystemworkswell.
Woodstoveorinsertoperationdependsonnatural(unforced)
draft. Natural draft occurs when the exhaust is hotter (and
thereforelighter)thantheoutdoorairatthetopofthechimney.
Thebiggerthetemperaturedierence,thestrongerthedraft.
As the hot gases rise through the chimney they provide suction
or ‘draw’ that pulls air into the stove for combustion. A slow, lazy
rewiththestove’sairinletsfullyopenindicatesaweakdraft.
Abriskre,supportedonlybyairenteringthestovethrough
the normal inlets, indicates a good draft. The stove’s air inlets
are passive; they regulate how much air can enter the stove,
but they don’t move air into it.
Depending on the features of your installation - steel or
masonry chimney, inside or outside the house, matched to the
stove’soutletoroversized-yoursystemmaywarmupquickly,
oritmaytakeawhiletowarmupandoperatewell.Withan
‘airtight’ stove, one which restricts the amount of air getting
intotherebox,thechimneymustkeepthestove’sexhaust
warmallthewaytotheoutdoorsinorderforthestovetowork
well.Somechimneysdothisbetterthanothers.Here’salist
offeaturesandtheireects.
Draft, Chimney Height & Performance
This appliance was tested for emissions on a 15 foot chimney,
using a combination of single wall chimney connector &
insulated class A pipe. The unit requires a draft between .03
and.065inofH2O.Thedraftmeasurementshouldbetaken
withanactivere,thedamperclosedandtheaircontrolat
themaximumsetting.Ifthedraftisbelow.03inofH2O,the
unit may have issues operating with the damper closed and
may back-pu into the room on lower burn settings. If the
draft of the chimney system is too low, additional vertical
height should be added to the system or the number of
elbows/teesinthesystemshouldbereduced.Theventing
systemshouldhavenomorethanatotalof180°ofturns(2
x90°elbows,4x45°elbowsoranycombination).Two45°
elbows create less draft reduction than a single 90° and can
be substituted for installations with low draft. Tall chimney
systems, particularly internal Class A systems may generate
draftwhichiswellabove0.65inofH2O.Inthatcase,the
unitmayexperience shortburntimes,diculty controlling
theburnrateofthestoveandthepotentialforoverring.In
the past, stack dampers could be recommended in these
installations, but manufacturers are no longer permitted to
specifytheseonEPACertiedmodels.Thechimneysystem
shouldbecarefullyreviewed and draft tested(ifpossible)
prior to installation of this unit.
Masonry Chimney
Masonry is a traditional material for chimneys, but it can
perform poorly when it serves an ‘airtight’ stove. Masonry is a
veryeective‘heatsink’-itabsorbsalotofheat.Itcancool
the chimney gases enough to diminish draft. The bigger the
chimney,thelongerittakestowarmup.It’softenverydicultto
warm up an outdoor masonry chimney, especially an oversized
one,andkeepitwarmenoughtomaintainanadequatedraft.
Steel Chimney
Mostfactory-madesteelchimneyshavealayerofinsulation
aroundtheinnerue.Thisinsulationkeepsthechimneywarm.
The insulation is less dense than masonry, so a steel chimney
warmsupmorequicklythanamasonrychimney.Steeldoesn’t
havethegoodlooksofmasonry,butitperformsmuchbetter.
Indoor/Outdoor Location
Becausethechimneymustkeepthesmokewarm,it’sbestto
locate it inside the house. This uses the house as insulation
fortheueandallowssomeheatreleaseintothehome.An
indoorchimneywon’tloseitsheattotheoutdoors,soittakes
lessheatfromthestovetoheatitupandkeepitwarm.
Single Venting
Each‘airtight’stoverequiresitsownue.Ifanairtightstoveis
ventedtoauethatalsoservesanopenreplace,oraleakier
stove, it’s easier for the chimney draft to pull air in through
thosechannelsandperformanceofthestovesuers.Imagine
a vacuum cleaner with a hole in the hose to understand the
eecthere.Insomecasestheotherappliancecanevencause
a negative draft through the stove, and result in a dangerous
draft reversal.
Flue Sizing
The inside size of a chimney for an ‘airtight’ stove should
matchthesizeofthestove’sueoutlet.Whenachimney
serves an airtight stove, more is not better; in fact, it can be a
disadvantage.Hotgasesloseheatfasterastheytravelslower
throughachimney;ifweventastovewithasix-inchuecollar
(28squareincharea)intoa10x10"ue,thegasesslowto
one third their original speed. This allows the gases to cool
morerapids,whichweakensdraftstrength.Ifanoversizedue
is also outside the house, the heat it absorbs gets transferred
totheoutdoorairandtheueusuallystayscool.
Itiscommonforamasonryue,especiallyoneservinga
replace,tobeoversizedforthestove.Itcantakequiteawhile
towarmupsuchaue,andtheresultscanbedisappointing.
Thebestsolutiontoanoversizedueisaninsulatedsteel
chimneyliner,thesamediameterasthestoveorinsertsue
outlet;thelinerkeepstheexhaustwarm,andtheresultisa
strongerdraft.Annon-insulatedlinerisasecondchoice-the
linerkeepstheexhaustrestrictedtoitsoriginalsize,butthe
hot gases still must warm up the air around the liner. This
makesthewarm-upprocesstakelonger.
