The Chimney System
Soot and Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture
to form soot or creosote. The soot and creosote vapors
condenseintherelativelycoolchimneyueofaslowburning
re.Asaresult,sootorcreosoteresidueaccumulatesonthe
uelining.Whenignited,thissootorcreosotecanresultin
anextremelyhotre.
Thechimneyconnectorandchimneyshouldbeinspected
atleastonceeverytwomonthsduringtheheatingseason
todetermineifasootorcreosotebuild-uphasoccurred.If
sootorcreosotehasaccumulated(3mmormore)itshould
beremovedtoreducetheriskofachimneyre.
Checking your chimney and chimney connector more
frequently, especially while you are getting used to your
stove,isrecommended.Toinspectthissystem,letthestove
cool.Usingaashlightandmirror,checktheinteriorofthe
chimneyconnector,andthechimneyitself.
Tocleandepositsfromthesurfaceoftheconnector,usea

At the end of the heating season, perform a thorough
examinationofyourchimneysystem,andhaveitrepaired
ifnecessary.
Draft
Draftiswidelymisunderstood.Itisimportantthatyou,the

Draft is a force, produced by an operating stove and the
chimneytowhichitisattached.Itiscreatedbyhotgases
risingupthechimney,creatingapressuredifferencebetween
theinside of yourhome and the outside air. It continually
