CBO-500 Pre-Assembly

Requirements for Clearance from  

Combustible Materials

To avoid the possibility of a fire, when installing your Chicago 

Brick Oven wood burning oven (either outdoors or indoors), you 

must adhere to the following requirements for minimum clearance 

between your Oven and any combustible materials.
  •  

Clearance around the Oven:

 The sides and back of the 

Oven must be at least 10 inches away from combustible 

materials 

(See Aerial View below).

 The top of the Oven must 

have at least an 18-inch clearance and the bottom a 30-inch 

clearance from combustible materials 

(See Front View below).

  •  

Clearance around the Door Opening:

 A minimum 30-inch 

clearance from combustible materials is required on each 

side of the Door opening and 36 inches from the front of the 

Door opening. (A Hearth extension may be required to meet 

these clearance requirements.)

  •  

Clearance from Wood Storage Area: 

There must be 

a 7-inch clearance between the bottom Insulating Boards 

of the Oven and any wood storage areas that are under 

the Oven installation. To ensure the 7-inch clearance, it 

is recommended that you incorporate a non-combustible 

physical barrier or some other indicator of the distance 

within the wood storage area.

THE FACE OF THE ENCLOSURE MUST BE CONSTRUCTED 

OF A NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL.
WARNING: DO NOT PACK THE REQUIRED CLEARANCE 

AREAS WITH INSULATION OR OTHER MATERIALS. WHEN 

THIS OVEN IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED, A FIRE MAY 

RESULT. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, FOLLOW THE 

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

Requirements for Outdoor/Indoor  

Chimney Installations

When building the Chimney, it is important to refer to your local 

building code standards.
Every CBO-500 Oven comes with a DuraVent Anchor Plate (Model 

# 9441) that works with a Class “A” 6" Pipe. You can buy this pipe 

from any building or hearth manufacturer.

A minimum 24" pipe section is required. If you are assembling your 

Chimney at 90,° you can add additional 24" sections as required. 

(The Chimney Pipe cannot have a total bend of more than 30.°) The 

taller the Flue Stack is, the further away the exhaust is from the cook!

Note:

 

The Chimney Connector shall not pass through an attic, roof 

space, closet or similar concealed space, or a floor or ceiling. Where 

passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction 

is desired, the installation must conform to the CAN/CSA-B365 

installation code for Solid-Fuel-Burning Appliances and Equipment.

Note:

 

For indoor installations that utilize a combustible enclosure, 

only a Class A Chimney should be used from the Anchor Plate on 

the Oven to the termination point outside of the building/structure. 

For outdoor non-combustible enclosures, a stainless steel 

connector can be used.

Note:

 

Please refer to the Exhaust Hood manufacturer’s 

recommendations for inspection, maintenance and cleaning.

WARNING: THE CHIMNEY MUST BE OF A TYPE SUITABLE 

FOR SOLID FUEL. THE CHIMNEY AND THE REQUIRED 

CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION 

AND KEPT CLEAN.
CAUTION: NEVER USE ANY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS 

NEAR THE ANCHOR PLATE OR FLUE STACK. WE 

RECOMMEND A MINIMUM 6" OF AIR SPACE BETWEEN 

THE ANCHOR PLATE AND FLUE AND ANY COMBUSTIBLE 

MATERIAL. AGAIN, CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL BUILDING 

DEPARTMENT TO ENSURE YOU ADHERE TO LOCAL 

BUILDING CODES!

Arch Dome Insulation Blanket

Very important for correct functioning and life of the  

CBO-500 Oven!

The Oven Dome must be covered with the supplied Ceramic 

Fiber Insulation Blanket. The Blanket, which withstands high 

temperatures, should cover the entire surface area of the Dome. 

You can cut the Ceramic Fiber to insulate around the Metal Anchor 

Plate. Since most heat loss will occur at the Metal Anchor Plate and 

top of the Oven, you should ensure these spots are well-insulated. 

You can choose to insulate the Oven further by packing Vermiculite 

or other non-flammable insulating material above the Blanket. The 

better you insulate your Oven, the better it will perform!

Note:

 

It is important that you use all of the Insulation supplied to 

avoid a possible fire.

Note:

 

All orders are FOB. Inspect all components for damage  

at time of delivery. Reject delivery if damaged or not on packing 

slip. If damages are discovered after delivery, contact your carrier 

for recourse.

Note:

 

Any variance from the Chicago Brick Oven installation instructions  

or alterations made to prefabricated Ovens 

without written 

approval from Chicago Brick Oven,

 will void your warranty.

Note:

 

Your Oven is designed for burning solid, dried wood

 only.

 Do 

not burn scrap wood, compressed logs or other materials. Failure to 

follow this instruction may damage your Oven and void your warranty.

INSTALL AND USE ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH CHICAGO BRICK OVEN’S INSTALLATION AND 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (OR EQUIVALENT). CONTACT LOCAL BUILDING OFFICIALS OR FIRE 

OFFICIALS ABOUT RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION IN YOUR AREA.
