This condition is commonly referred to as down

drafting. There are several factors that impact the

amount of air available in the home. Increased

amounts of insulation vinyl windows, extra caulk-

ing in various places and door seals can all keep

heat in but may also make a home too airtight.

If you are in doubt about whether or not there is

sufficient air in your home for your stove, curtail

using those appliances known to consume the

air where possible, or open a window or door to

allow air to enter the home.

High trees, low lying house location such as in

a valley, tall buildings or structures surrounding

your house and windy conditions can cause poor

draft or down drafting.

Avoid cold chimney temperatures by burning a

hot fire for the first fifteen to forty minutes, being

careful not to over fire. If any part of the chimney

or parts of the stove start to glow, you are over fir-

ing the stove. Where possible, install a tempera-

ture gauge on the chimney so temperature drops

can be seen.

Avoid using too many elbows or long horizontal

runs. If in doubt, contact a chimney expert and/or

chimney manufacturer for help. Clean chimney,

rain caps and especially spark arrester regularly,

to prevent creosote build up, which will signifi-

cantly reduce chimney draw and may cause a

chimney fire.

When shutting down the stove, fully open the air

control. This allows the chimney temperatures to

remain as high as possible for as long as possible.
