INSTALLATION 

PAGE 8 

INSTALLING THE BAFFLE BRICKS 

There are 2 brick retainer tube assemblies located be-
low the ceiling of the firebox which require baffle brick 
before the stove can be operated. Install the baffle brick 
as follows: 
1. Place the first three brick onto the brick retainers 

with the notch facing up and toward the front. Next, 
slide the three brick all the way to the right (as you 
face the stove. See top view illustration below).  

2.  Place the fourth brick on top of the three brick. Posi-

tion it so the notch is facing up and pointing to the 
left. 

3.  Install the fifth brick and slide all the way to the left. 
4. Rotate the fourth brick into position (notch to the 

front and facing up) until it drops into place. 

IMPORTANT: The baffle brick requires periodic in-
spection and replacement for proper operation. If 
the baffle bricks are fractured or crumbling, they 
should be replaced. Do not operate this appliance 
without the baffle brick properly installed.

TYPES OF CHIMNEYS

The chimney is a vital part of your stove installation. A 
properly built masonry chimney or a properly installed 
factory built chimney will assure a consistent draft under 
a variety of weather conditions (a smoking stove is usu-
ally caused by a chimney problem). The stove flue size 
is 6 inches (152 mm) diameter, which is approximately 
28 square inches (711 square mm) minimum. The 
maximum flue size should be no more than (3)-three 
times the cross sectional area of the size of the stove 
flue collar. In this case, that would be no larger than a 
10 inch (254 mm) diameter stack, or approximately 85 
square inches (216 square cm) maximum. 
 
All chimneys must be installed as specified by local 
building codes and according to the chimney manufac-
turer instructions (in the case of a factory built chimney). 
See the chimney manufacturer instructions for exact 
specifications.  Factory built chimneys must comply with 
UL 103HT or ULC S629.
