Draft Testing

An easy way to test your chimney draft is to close the stove’s

damper,waitafewminutestolettheairowstabilize,thensee

whetheryoucanvarythestrengthoftherebyswingingthe

air control open and closed. Results are not always instant;

you may need to wait a few minutes for a change in the

aircontrolsettingtohaveane󰀨ectonthere.Ifthere’sno

change, then the draft isn’t strong enough yet to let you close

the damper, and you’ll need to open it for awhile longer and

managetherewiththeairinletuntilthedraftstrengthens.

Ifyoukeeptrackofyourburninghabitsandrelatethemto

theire󰀨ectsonthestove’soperation,you’llberewardedwith

good performance and a safe system.

Conclusion: Wood-burningisanartratherthanascience.

Oncethestoveandchimneysystemareinplace,youcan

only vary your technique, mostly your timing, to achieve good

results.Ifyoukeeptrackofyourburninghabitsandrelatethem

totheire󰀨ectsonthestove’soperation,you’llberewarded

with good performance and years of reliable heating.

H. Important Information

Creosote is a by-product of slow wood-burning. It’s an

organictarthatcancondenseintheueifitispresentinthe

exhaust,slow-moving,andcoolstolessthan290°F(130°C).

Condensed creosote is volatile, and can generate chimney

resifitgetshotenough.Allthefeaturesthata󰀨ectchimney

draftalso a󰀨ectcreosotecondensation -sousewhatever

combination of installation features and operational steps that

will encourage good draft and minimize creosote production.

Becauselettingtheexhaustcoolo󰀨andslowdownisoneof

the keys to creosote accumulation, it makes sense to line a

chimney to match the stove’s outlet size, for safety reasons

as well as performance. Canadian law requires a matching

linertoserveanystoveorinsertventedthroughareplace

chimney; in the US, the National Fire Protection Association

(NFPA)recommendsachimneylineriftheueismorethan

threetimesbigger(insquarearea)thantheoutlet on the

stove or insert. Some localities enforce the NFPA guidelines

as part of their building codes.

Fuel: Even the best stove installation will not perform well

withpoorfuel.Thebestfuelishardwoodthathasair-dried

12-18months.Softwoodburns,butnotaslongashardwood.

‘Green’ wood contains a lot of moisture; it will burn, but some

of the heat potential is used to boil the extra moisture from

the wood. This reduces the amount of heat that reaches your

home and can contribute to a creosote problem. There are

moisturemetersavailableforrewood;youcanalsojudge

yourwoodbyitsappearanceandweight(Moisturecontent

of20%orlessisbest).Ifyougetitgreen,liftapieceandget

a sense of its weight; it can lose a third or more of its weight

as it dries. Also look at the ends of a log; as it dries it shrinks

and often cracks. The more weathered and cracked a piece

is, the drier it is.

Dry wood burns readily with a good chimney draft. But with

modern stoves, wood can be too dry and too volatile. Smoke

and combustible gases can ‘gas out’ from the wood quickly

anddenselyenoughtooverloadthecombustionsystem.If

youheararumblingorroaringnoise(likeapropanetorch)

fromthestove,thatisasignthatthestoveisover-ring.

Thegasesbackupinthereboxuntiltheyareconcentrated

the stove needs to cool down. You should open the damper

toletthesmokerisetotheuemorequickly,allowmoreair

intotherebox,avoidbigloadsofrewoodandcheckthat

the wood moisture is not too low.
