9. The Exhaust System
9.1 General Information
The exhaust system, consisting of the chimney and the pipe that connects the cookstove to the
chimney, acts as the engine that drives the wood heating system. Even the best appliance will
not work as securely and adequately as expected if it is not connected to an adequate chimney.
The heat contained in the exhaust gas, which goes from the cookstove to the chimney connector,
then to the chimney, is not lost heat. The chimney uses that heat to create the draft that draws
the combustion air, keeps the smoke in the appliance and evacuates the gas securely toward
open air. You can consider the heat contained in the exhaust gas as the combustible that the
chimney uses to create the draft.
9.2 Suitable Chimneys
To be suitable, a prefabricated metal chimney must follow the standards UL 103 HT (USA) or
ULC S629 (Canada). Furthermore, this wood burning cookstove has a performance and optimal
efficiency when it is connected to a 6" chimney flue.
9.2.1 Prefabricated Metal Chimney
These are sometimes referred to as "high temp"
chimneys because they have the specific characteristics
to withstand the temperatures that can be created by
wood burning stoves. Factory-built chimneys are tested
as a system with all the necessary components for
installation. The instructions provided with the chimney
by its manufacturer are the only reliable source of
installation guidelines. To be safe and effective, the
chimney must be installed exactly in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions. Only components
intended for the brand and model of chimney shoud
be used. Never fabricate or substitute parts from other
chimney brands. The chimney must be a type suitable
for solid fuel.
