Gathering around hearth
may be broken by fire
In scores of American
households this winter, the
snug atmosphere around the
family's wood-burning stove
will be broken by a thundering
roar, a shaking, red-hot stove
pipe and immediate danger to
family and belongings.
A chimney fire. It usually
results from the build up of a
sooty substance called creo
sote inside the chimney.
"When a chimney fire occurs,
three actions are crucial,"
advised Donald Mann, fire
safety engineer for Aetna Life
& Casualty. "Call the fire
department. Close all air
inlets and dampers. And don't
throw water on a hot stove.
That could crack the stove and
cause a second fire,"
Chimney fires, according to
Mann, are only one of the risks
of using or installing a
wood-burning stove impro
perly. "There are a lot of
mistakes the inexperienced
stove owner can make." Mann
said "Like disposing of ashes
in paper bags, or other
combustible containers, put
ting your stove on an unpro
tected wood floor, using a
stove pipe that's too small or
cheaply constructed-those
things might not cause a fire
right away, but they probably
will eventually. The risk is
serious,"
According to the National
Fire Data Center, heating
systems burning solid fuel
(wood or coal ). are associated
with about 49.000 home fires
each year, involving about 250
fatalities. 290 serious injuries

If you have a wood-burning
stove--or are thinking about
buying one-it's essential to
consider proper installation.
Check with local building
authorities before putting in
your stove, even if this is not
required in your town. You
will probably get cost and
time-saving advice on mater
ials, space requirements, sup
pliers and workmanship. And
arrange for an inspection
after your stove is installed
Mann emphasized that stove
owners should follow instal
lation instructions to the
letter. "Above all. don't try to
short-cut the manufacturer's
directions, don't skimp on
clearances from walls and
floors, and don't count on word
of mouth advice from other
stove owners." Covering a
wall with aluminum foil, for
example, does NOT make it
non -combustible.
' Making the Stove Pipe
a Good Connection
Stove owners should follow
detailed instructions, avail
able from the manufacturer or
retailer, to be sure that stove
pipe dimensions and mater
ials are adequate. Ordinarily,
Mann explained, the pipe
should not pass through a wall
or ceiling "If you must go
through a combustible wall,
you'll have to allow an 18 inch
clearance all around the piX'.
Or, you can use a section of
approved factory-built chim

As for hooking the stove pipe
to a masonry chimney, you'll
need to extend the connector
through the masonry wall of
the chimney to the inner face
of the flue liner (not beyond .
and cement it to the masonry.
It's important to use high
temperature cement f
RemermVr that every stove V
needs a damper or draft
regulator to help control
combustion. If yours is auto

er's instructions
The Chimney
Your chimney should be
inspected before installing
your stove and annually
thereafter If you are Inlying a
factory -built chimney, lie sure
it has recognized testing
lalKiratory approval If you
are connecting to an existing
fireplace chimney, you must
seal off the chimnev Ix-low the
stove pipe's point of entry to
prevent toxic gases from I
coming into the room. Mann
added that it's dangerous to
conned more than one heating
device to a single flue.
As for chimney mainten
ance, remember that creosote
residue accumulates on a
relatively cool chimney lining
and, when ignited, causes an
extremely dangerous fire. To
prevent creosote buildup,
maintain a moderate fire- hot
enough to prevent a cool flue
liner, but not so hot that it
