Installation and operation manual - Atlas woodburning cookstove
ENGLISH
9.2.2 Masonry Chimney
The cookstove may also be connected to a masonry
chimney, provided the chimney complies with the
construction rules found in the building code enforced
locally. The chimney must have either a clay liner or
a suitably listed stainless steel liner. If the masonry
chimney has a square or rectangular liner that is
larger in cross sectional area than a round 6" flue, it
should be relined with a suitably listed 6" stainless
steel liner. Do not downsize the flue to less than 6"
unless the venting system is straight and exceeds 25
feet in height. When passing through a combustible
wall, the use of an insulated listed thimble is required.
9.3 Chimney Height
The chimney top must be high enough to overcome air turbulence caused by the wind blowing
around the house and over the roof. The chimney must exceed by at least 1 meter (3 ft.) its
highest exit point from the roof and by at least 60 cm (2 ft.) for any part of the roof or any
obstacle located at a horizontal distance of at least 3 m (10 ft.).
