If the stove does not heat or smoke, it is always due to a faulty draft:
1. A common mistake is to connect the stovepipe to an existing chimney, leaving it still in service
from the old installation. In this way, two installations with solid fuel are linked by the same flue,
which is incorrect and dangerous. If the two installations are used at the same time, the total
smoke load may be excessive for the existing section of the chimney, causing plastering of the
chimney. smoke.
2. If a single stove is used, the heat of the fumes does cause the draft of the chimney, which,
however, will suck in cold air as well by the opening from the installation off, it what returns to
cool the fumes and blocks the threw.
3. Lastly, if both installations are located on different levels, in addition to the aforementioned
problems, the same principle of the communicating vessels can be interfered with, which causes
an irregular evolution of combustion fumes and unpredictable.
FIREPLACE FINISH
The correct installation of the chimney cap allows to optimize the operation of the stove. The
chimney's windproof finish must be made up of a number of elements such that the sum of its
section, at the outlet, is always double that of the flue. The finish must be placed in such a way that
it exceeds the ridge of the roof by approximately 150 cm, so that it is in full wind.
