E. Chimney Termination RequirementsFollow manufacturer’s instructions for clearance, securing flashingandterminatingthechimney,Figures3.13&3.14.• MusthaveanapprovedandListedcap• Must not be located where it will become plugged by
snow or other material• Must terminate at least 3 feet (91 cm) above the roof
• Must be located away from trees or other structuresNOTICE:• Chimney performance may vary.• Trees, buildings, roof lines andwind conditions affect
performance.• Chimney heightmay need adjustment if smoking or
overdraft occurs.
D. Locating Your Appliance & ChimneyLocation of the appliance and chimney will affectperformance. As shown in Figure 3.12 the chimney should:• Installthroughthewarmspaceenclosedbythebuilding
envelope. This helps to produce more draft, especially duringlightinganddiedownofthefire.
• Penetrate the highest part of the roof. This minimizes the affectsofwindturbulenceanddowndrafts.
NOTICE: Locating the appliance in a basement or in alocation of considerable air movement can cause intermittent smokespillagefromappliance.Donotlocateappliancenear• Frequently open doors• Central heat outlets or returns
• Consider theappliance location in order to avoid floorand ceiling attic joists and rafters.
• Locate termination cap away from trees, adjacentstructures, uneven roof lines and other obstructions.

A slow, lazy firewiththestove’sairinletsfullyopenindicatesaweakdraft.Abriskfire,supportedonlybyairenteringthestovethroughthe 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 ormasonry chimney, inside or outside the house, matched to the stove’soutletoroversized-yoursystemmaywarmupquickly,oritmaytakeawhiletowarmupandoperatewell.Withan‘airtight’ stove, one which restricts the amount of air getting intothefirebox,thechimneymustkeepthestove’sexhaustwarmallthewaytotheoutdoorsinorderforthestovetoworkwell.Somechimneysdothisbetterthanothers.Here’salistoffeaturesandtheireffects.Masonry ChimneyMasonry is a traditional material for chimneys, but it can perform poorly when it serves an ‘airtight’ stove.

A rule of thumb for minimum height states thatthetotalsystemheight(fromthefloortheapplianceismountedontothetopofthechimney)shouldneverbelessthan 4.8m (16 ft.).Most normal installations exceed thisheight,butinstallationsincottageswithshallow-pitchroofsmaynot.Don’tmakeachimney tallerunlessyoumust inorder to meet the safety rules, or unless there’s some nearby featurecausingadowndraft.Eventhen,therearedowndraft-preventing chimney caps available, which are probably the smarter choice.
