Replace Broken Firebricks

CFM Corporation custom firebricks contain metal rein- forcements that maintain the brick’s integrity if it cracks. A brick that is cracked but still intact does not need to be replaced.

A Clean Chimney System ss Safer

and Works Better

Learn to Recognize Creosote and Soot

When you first begin using the stove, check daily for creosote — a substance that can look like either thick tar or black, crisp flakes. Experience will show how often you need to clean to be safe. The frequency may even vary during the year. In the colder months when the hottest fires producing the least creosote are burned, you may need to clean less frequently. Dur- ing the warmer months when creosote is more likely to result from cooler-burning fires and weaker draft, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.

At the very least, inspect the chimney and chimney connector twice monthly. Clean if necessary. Let the stove cool to check if a buildup of creosote or soot has occurred. If a significant layer of creosote has accu- mulated—1/8” (3mm) or more—it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire. Failure to keep the chimney and connector system clean can result in a serious chimney fire.

The conditions for a chimney fire develop like this: When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
