House located in forest clearing. Wind moves across tree tops, drops down
into the clearing and down the chimney as well, creating draft problems. A
hill or a large building can cause the same kind of difficulty when the
wind is right. The evidence will be smoke puff-backs.
* Dirty chimney. Blockage can be caused by soot buildup, bird nests,
fallen masonry, etc.
INTERIOR INSTALLATION
The UPLAND Model #207 is designed for installation with the crimped
end of stovepipe inserted inside of the stove collar. The pipe joints should
run towards the stove rather than towards the chimney. This is to keep any
residue from running out of the pipe onto the floor.
Locate the stove where it will distribute the maximum amount of radiant
and convected heat. There must be a clearance of 36 inches from any
combustible surface. If the floor that the stove is placed on is not made of
stone or brick, an approved asbestos and sheet metal panel must be used
under the stove. The panel should extend at least 18 inches in front of the
stove, and at least 12 inches beyond the sides and the back. If a steel plate
is to be used it should be 24 guage or thicker.
The stove may be placed closer to a wall ONLY if an approved non-
combustible material is installed on the wall in compliance with building
and fire regulations.
Install the flue pipe with sheet metal screws at the stove collar and at all
joints. Use only approved stovepipe. A seven inch flue damper may be
installed in the flue near the stove to control the draft while in the Fire-
place mode.
INSTALLATION OF THIS STOVE MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE
WITH LOCAL BUILDING AND FIRE CODES. Copies of these regula-
tions are available through your local fire department. Following are
reprints of four suggested procedures for installation of woodstoves
prepared by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies.
