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.
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.
Chimney Height
Thecommonwisdomtellsusthatatalleruedrawsbetter
thanashortone.Thisisn’tnecessarilyso.Ifachimneyistall
enough to meet the safety requirements of the 2/3/10 foot
rule, then adding more height isn’t the right answer to a draft
problem.Infactitcouldmaketheproblemworsebyadding
more mass to the chimney system, which must be warmed
up,adistancefromtheheatsource(thestove).Don’tmakea
chimney taller unless you must in order to meet the safety rules,
or unless there’s some nearby feature causing a downdraft.
Even then, there are downdraft-preventing chimney caps
available, which are probably the smarter choice.
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.
Pipe & Chimney Layout
Everyturntheexhaustmusttakeasittravelstothechimney
top will slow it down. The ideal pipe and chimney layout is to
vent vertically into a completely straight and vertical chimney.
Ifyouarestartingfromscratch,usethislayoutifpossible.
Ifthestovepipemustelbowtoenterachimney,locatethe
thimble about midway between the stove top and the ceiling.
This achieves several goals: it allows the gases to speed up
before they must turn, it leaves some pipe in the room for
heattransfer,anditgivesyoulong-termexibilityforinstalling
adierentstovewithoutrelocatingthethimble.
Thereshouldbenomorethaneightfeetofsingle-wallstove
pipe between the stove and a chimney; longer runs can cool
the exhaust enough to cause draft and creosote problems.
Withprefabricatedchimney,bringitdowntosixtoeightfeet
fromthestove.Withamasonrychimney,arrangethepipe
so that it turns into the chimney within eight feet of the stove.
