Oakleaf Woodburning stove

5. Other Considerations

Do not burn any fuel other than dry cordwood. Never 

use highly volatile substances in your stove, such as 

gasoline, which could cause an explosion.

When solid fuels are burned completely, they produce 

water and carbon dioxide. However, in long slow burns, 

a substantial amount of carbon monoxide may be pro-

duced. If allowed to build up, carbon monoxide (which is 

odorless) can prove fatally poisonous. Proper ventilation 

and draft will prevent this from happening. If you smell 

smoke, thoroughly ventilate your dwelling, and contact 

your dealer for service. 

Other  causes  of  poor  ventilation  or  draft  are  icing, 

exhaust fans, a blocked outside air inlet, and room air 

starvation. If your stove is sluggish and you get occa-

sional odor, check these possibilities and increase the 

air flow in your home.

1. Existing Masonry Chimneys

If you plan on using a pre-existing masonry chimney, 

have it thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Any faults 

which make the chimney unsafe and unusable must be 

repaired prior to use. These can include improper height, 

structural defects, blockages, inadequate clearance to 

combustibles, unsealed openings into other rooms of 

the house, signs of creosote or smoke leakage, a loose 

or absent clean-out door, or absence of a liner.

2. venting to a Masonry Chimney

When  connecting  to  a  masonry  chimney,  several 

provisions  are  standard.  First,  whether  the  chimney 

connector is vented to the chimney through a thimble 

or a breech pipe, neither must pass beyond the inner 

surface of the chimney liner, and both must be firmly 

cemented in place with refractory cement. (A thimble is 

a masonry pipe which is inserted through the chimney 

wall, and is frequently the preferred method; a breech 

pipe is a piece of steel pipe used the same way.) In 

Canada, a breech pipe has ridges or protrusions to lock 

it firmly into the refractory cement. In either case, the 

chimney connector vents to the chimney through the 

thimble or breech pipe.

Using  a  thimble,  the  connector  slides  completely 

inside the masonry to the inner edge of the flue liner, 

and may be easily removed for chimney and connector 

inspection. A breech pipe must extend at least 2" (50 

mm) into the room, so the connector can be attached 

with sheetmetal screws.

3. venting to a Masonry fireplace Chimney

In some situations, a code compliant chimney original-

ly used for a masonry fireplace may be used. In addition 

to the requirements found in the previous paragraphs, 

it is important to be aware that all clearances must be 

met,  including  those  from  the  chimney  connector  to 

combustibles. Do not forget to include floor protection 

in your plans. (See Clearances and Floor Protection 

in this section.) Since many fireplaces have exposed 

wooden mantels and trim, pay special attention to the 

clearances necessary to these materials.

If your fireplace chimney is behind a combustible wall, 

you must use an approved wall pass-through system 

to gain access to the masonry chimney. The chimney 

connector must enter the chimney at a place where it is 

lined, and the fireplace must be made inoperable. For 

example, you might remove the damper, replacing it with 

a secure, airtight, noncombustible seal (removable for 

inspection); this also satisfies the requirement that no 

room air must be allowed to enter the chimney.

4. Installing to a Prefabricated Chimney

When venting using a prefabricated chimney, be sure 

to contact local building code authorities, and to follow 

the  manufacturer’s  instructions 

exactly

.  Use  only  the 

manufacturer’s parts; do not use makeshift installation 

techniques.  All prefabricated chimneys must be tested to 

either the U.S. or Canadian high-temperature standards, 

UL 103 or ULC S629.
