INSTALLATION OF YOUR DROLET WOOD STOVE POSITIONING THE STOVE It is very important to position the wood stove as close as possible to the chimney, and in an area that will favor the most efficient heat distribution possible throughout the house. The stove must therefore be installed in the room where the most time is spent, and in the most spacious room possible. Recall that wood stoves produce radiating heat, the heat we feel when we are close to a wood stove. A wood stove also func

CHIMNEY Your wood stove may be hooked up with a prefabricated or masonry chimney. If you are using a prefab o chimney, it must comply with S-629 standards; therefore it must be approved for up to 2100 F (650° C). It is extremely important that it be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. If you are using a masonry chimney, it is important that it be built in compliance with the specifications of the National Building Code. It must be lined with refractory bricks, m

5- You can now install the wall support. Simply slide the wall support up to the tee, ensuring that the adapter on the support engages with the female coupler on the bottom of the tee.

You will probably have to adjust this position slightly to ensure that your chimney will run between the joists. You can use a stud finder to locate the joists. You also need to take into account the minimum clearances to combustible materials. After you have determined where the chimney will go through the ceiling, use a spoke saw or power jig saw to cut a hole, rem

COUPLINGS It is very important to measure the clearance between your connectors (commonly called stove pipe) and the surrounding combustible surfaces. If the normal 18 inches clearance required cannot be obtained, you may have to use an insulated flue pipe in order to install. You must read the flue pipe manufacturer's instructions before installation. Your connectors and chimney must have the same diameter as the stove outlet. If this is not the case, we recommend you contact your

Blower: A variable speed-control blower is available. Please note that there are two types of blowers available, depending on the stove model you have.

Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 6" (152 mm) should be split. The wood should be stored in a place where the grass is not too long, in such a way that prevailing winds may circulate through the fire logs. A 24" to 48" (610 mm to 1219 mm) air space should be left between each row of fire logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. If the wood must be stored outside, the upper layer of wood should be protected from rain and bad weather but not

HEATING Once you have obtained a good bed of embers you should reload the unit. In order to do so, open the air control completely for a few seconds prior to opening the stove door. Then, proceed by opening the door very slowly. Open it by one or two inches for 5 to 10 seconds before opening it completely. This will increase the draft and will eliminate the smoke, which is stagnant in a state of slow combustion. Then, bring the red embers to the front of the stove and reload the unit.
