E. The Chimney System

Your Intrepid FlexBurn® is designed to reduce creosote

build-upsignicantly.However,regularchimneyinspection

and maintenance must still be performed. For safety, good

stove performance, and to protect your chimney and chimney

connector, inspect your chimney and chimney connector on

a regular schedule. Clean the system if necessary. Failure

tokeepthechimneyandconnectorsystemcleancanresult

inaseriouschimneyre.

6.Startingat one end,pressthegasket into thechannel.

(Figure3.5)Ensureagoodjointwherethegasketmeets

beforetrimminganyexcess.Donotoverlapthegasket

ends or leave ends with ragged edges.

7.Pressthegasketedpartrmlyagainstitsnormalmating

surfacetoseat thegasketevenly initschannel.Close

and latch the door to do this, or tap other parts with the

rubbermallet(orhammer/blockofwood).

8.Cleananyexcesscementfromaroundthechannel,then

letthecementthatholdsthenewgasketdrythoroughly.

9. The stove’s doors may need adjustment after you have

regasketed them. Initially, it may require loosening the

latchtoaccommodatethenewgasket;afterafewweeks,

it may need tightening to compensate for compression of

thenewgasket.

All Gasketed Construction Gaskets

Othergasketsformsealsbetweenallothernon-movingparts,

but these are not subject to the same wear and deterioration

asgasketsonmovingparts.Itisunlikelythatyouwillever

needtoreplacethesegasketsunlesstheinvolvedpartsare

disassembledandthenputbacktogether.Ifthisisthecase,

thejobshouldbedoneonlybyaqualiedservicetechnician.

Refertotheservicepartslistforgasketreplacement.

2. Use a wire brush or the tip of a screwdriver to clean

thechannelofanyremainingcementorbitsofgasket.

Removestubborndepositsofcementwithacoldchisel

if necessary. (Figure 3.4)

3.Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized

gasketbylayingitoutinthechannel.Allowanextra1-2"

(25-50mm),andmarkthespottobecut.

4.Removethegasketfromthechannel,placeitonawood

cuttingsurface,andcutitatthemarkedspotwithautility

knife.

Twisttheendsslightlytokeepthegasketfromunraveling.

5.Layanunbroken1/8"(3mm)beadofsiliconeorcement

inthenewly-cleanedchannel.(Figure3.5)

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar, organic vapors

and moisture that combine to form creosote. The creosote

vaporscondenseintherelativelycoolchimneyueofaslow-

burningre.Asaresult,creosoteresidueaccumulatesonthe

uelining.Whenignited,thiscreosotemakesanextremely

hotrewithintheuesystemthatcandamagethechimney

andoverheatadjacentcombustiblematerial.Ifasignicant

layerofcreosotehasaccumulated—1/8"(3mm)ormore

—itshouldberemovedtoreducetheriskofachimneyre.

Youcanneverbetoosafe.Contactyourlocalreauthority

forinformationonwhattodointheeventofachimneyre,

and have a clearly understood plan on how to handle one.

Ifyoudoexperienceachimneyre,actpromptlyto:

• Close the damper and air control lever.

• Get everyone out of the house.

• Call the Fire Department.

Inspect the system every two weeks during the heating

season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. To inspect

the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a

mirrorandastronglight,sightupthroughtheuecollarinto

thechimneyue.Ifyoucannotinspecttheuesysteminthis

fashion, the stove must be disconnected to provide better

viewing access.

Clean the chimney using a brush the same size and shape

astheueliner.Flexibleberglassrodsareusedtorunthe

brush up and down the liner, causing any deposits to fall

to the bottom of the chimney where they can be removed

throughtheclean-outdoor.

Clean the chimney connector by disconnecting the sections,

takingthemoutside,andremovinganydepositswithasti󰀨

wirebrush.Reinstalltheconnectorsectionsaftercleaning,

being sure to secure the joints between individual sections

with sheet metal screws.

Ifyoucannotinspectorcleanthechimneyyourself,contact

yourlocalVermontCastingsdealeroraprofessionalchimney

sweep.

WARNING

certain conditions of use, creosote buildup may occur
