Isle Royale Wood Stove

FLUE SYSTEMS

There are two separate and different parts to a flue system: the chimney connector and the chimney itself.

1.Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be at least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue steel. The sections must be attached to the stove and to each other with the crimped (male) end pointing toward the stove. See Figure 10A. All joints, including the connection at the stove collar, should be secured with three sheet metal screws. Make sure to follow the minimum clearances to combustibles as set out on pages 6 and 7 of this manual. Where passage through the wall, or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform to CAN/CSA- B365.

2.Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented). A listed connector (vented) must be used when installing this unit in a mobile home. A listed chimney and listed connector must be used. they must conform to each other to ensure a proper fit and seal.

MASONRY CHIMNEY

For optimal performance, masonry chimneys used to vent this appliance should be lined with a 6 inch stainless steel liner. Installations into a clay flue without a stainless steel liner may reduce efficiency, cause the glass to darken, and produce excessive creosote.

Ensure that a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard

211.It must have at least a 5/8 inch (16mm) fire clay liner or a listed chimney liner system. See Figure 10B. Make sure there are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deteriora- tion and blockage. It is best to have the chimney inspected by a professional and be sure to have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.

The flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. NFPA 211 allows the cross-sectional area of the flue to be no more than 3 times the cross-sectional area of the flue collar of the stove (28 x 3 = 84 square inches). It is recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter be relined, since the oversized flue can cause poor performance and contribute to the accumulation of creosote. (See page 24 for more information about troubleshooting draft problems).

CAUTION! DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.

When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed. There are several ways to make this connection, including the construc- tion of a masonry thimble. This installation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365. Check with your local building authorities or consult the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211). Refer to Figure 11B (page 11) and Figures 12A & 12B (page 12).

WARNING! IF INSTALLING THIS MODEL TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211.

THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A 6 INCH/152mm DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE UNIT. CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE ARE OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.

Isle Royale specifications

The Quadra-Fire Isle Royale is a premier wood-burning stove that exemplifies innovation, efficiency, and craftsmanship. Designed to provide reliable heating for homes and cabins, it combines traditional aesthetics with modern technology to deliver a user-friendly experience while enhancing comfort.

One of the standout features of the Isle Royale is its impressive heat output. Capable of heating spaces up to 2,000 square feet, it utilizes a powerful firebox that maximizes combustion efficiency. With a capacity of up to 3.2 cubic feet, this stove allows for longer burn times, meaning homeowners can enjoy consistent warmth without the frequent need to reload firewood.

The stove also incorporates advanced technologies that optimize performance. Its patented Quadra-Fire Four-Point Burn System ensures a complete burn of the fuel, minimizing smoke emissions while maximizing heat production. This system enhances the stove's efficiency by promoting a secondary burn that ignites unburned gases, thus producing more heat from the same amount of fuel. The result is a cleaner combustion process that is better for the environment and enhances indoor air quality.

Durability is another hallmark of the Isle Royale. Constructed from heavy-gauge steel and featuring a robust cast-iron door, this stove is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. The high-quality materials not only provide longevity but also contribute to the stove's classic appearance, which can seamlessly integrate into a variety of decorating styles.

Convenience is also addressed with features such as an easy-to-use air control system, which allows users to adjust the burn rate according to their heating needs. Additionally, the stove includes a large viewing window and a state-of-the-art ceramic glass that withstands high temperatures while providing a beautiful view of the flames. This focal point adds an aesthetic charm to any living space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Moreover, the Isle Royale meets stringent EPA certification standards, ensuring that it operates cleanly and efficiently. Its commitment to eco-friendliness makes it a smart choice for environmentally conscious consumers who still wish to enjoy the comfort and ambiance of a traditional wood-burning stove.

In summary, the Quadra-Fire Isle Royale wood stove is a blend of efficiency, durability, and style, offering homeowners an exceptional heating solution that doesn't compromise on performance.
