dramatically affect stove performance, the problems

are typically temporary and solve themselves once the

weather changes.

If you question whether your stove is producing

adequate heat, the best way to troubleshoot the

problem is to monitor the temperature of the stack no

more than 12 inches (30 cm) above the flue collar. A

400° F (200° C) stovepipe confirms the stove is

supplying sufficient heat. Keep in mind that your house

itself will regulate room/house temperatures. How well

the walls, floors and ceilings are insulated, the number

and size of windows, the tightness of outside doors,

and the construction or style of your house (vaulted

ceilings or other open spaces which collect large

percentages of heat, ceiling fans, etc.) all are

determining factors of room temperature.

Your stove's performance is also dependent on its

installation. One common cause of poor

performance is an oversized chimney flue. Oversized

chimney flues result in decreased draft, which

prevents the smoke from rising out the chimney.

Oversized flues are also more difficult to heat

effectively, especially when burning a high efficiency

stove. Cool flue temperatures inhibit the establishment

of a strong draft (and encourage the accumulation of

creosote). The lack of a strong draft will cause the fire

to die down and may even force smoke to pour into

the room.

If your chimney is the proper size and a strong draft is

not easily established, there is the possibility that the

chimney is too cold. Again, hot chimneys promote

stronger drafts. Opening a window briefly in the room

while lighting the stove may help.

Other draft guidelines are as follows:

An "AIRTIGHT" HOUSE: The air supply (infiltration) to

the interior of the house may be inadequate if your

home is super-insulated or especially well sealed. This

phenomenon of air starvation within the building is

exacerbated if exhaust fans, such as clothes dryers,

bathroom fans or cook stove exhaust fans, are in

operation within the home. Outfitting your stove with an

optional outside air dispenser, which leads to the

outside of the building, can correct this problem.

Tall Trees or Buildings: These obstructions, when

located close to the top of the chimney can cause

chronic or occasional downdrafts. When selecting a

site for a new chimney, consider the placement of

other objects near the proposed chimney location.

Wind Velocity: Generally, the stronger and

steadier a wind, the stronger (better) the draft.

However, "gusty" wind conditions can cause erratic

downdrafts. For consistent problems, consider a

high wind cap, such as the Vacu-Stack.

Barometric Pressure: Chimney drafts are typically

sluggish on balmy, wet or muggy days (low

barometric pressure). This is a weather-related

phenomenon, which generally is self-correcting as

the weather changes.

Briskness of Fire: The hotter the fire in your stove,

the hotter your chimney and, therefore, the stronger

the draft.

Breaks in the Venting System: An unsealed

clean-out door at the bottom of the chimney, leaky

stovepipe joints, a poor stovepipe-to-thimble

connection, missing caps, or a leaky chimney all

can cause inadequate draft.

Seasonal Factors: Early fall and late spring are

generally difficult seasons in which to establish

proper drafts. The colder the outside air is relative

to room temperature, the stronger the draft.

OPERATING THE STOVE

As outlined above, there are days when a good draft

is just not easy to establish. The causes are usually

seasonal factors or a cold chimney. Try starting the

fire by using small kindling and fuel to obtain a

quick, hot fire. Tend the fire frequently with small

fuel until the chimney is hot and the draft is well

established. Sometimes, partially opening a first

floor window briefly will help quickly get draft

established.
