VENTING INTO A FIREPLACE

AUTOMATIC COAL BURNING CIRCULATOR HEATER
Many people may wish to convert an existing fireplace to heater use. Usually, safe connection of stovepipe to a ma- sonry chimney requires more effort than connection to a prefabricated chimney. The fireplace must be closed and sealed at the damper in the flue. Good sealants are high temperature caulking, ceramic wool, and furnace cement. Always re- member to inspect the masonry chim- ney and fireplace. If necessary, clean the flue and smoke shelf before begin- ning your installation. Install the heater into the chimney so that the system can be dismantled for cleaning and inspec- tion.
Before deciding to convert your fire- place or existing chimney, keep in mind that older fireplaces and their chimneys are unsafe. They must be structurally sound, and the flue liner must be in good condition. Do not use a chimney if it is unlined (should have a tile clay liner to protect brickwork), have it relined professionally. Clearances to combus- tibles are explained in the previous sec- tion on masonry chimneys. If you have any questions regarding the condition of the chimney, consult a qualified engi- neer, competent mason, certified Chim- ney Sweep, or knowledgeable inspec- tor.

Another method frequently used by some people is to vent the heater di- rectly into the fireplace. This does not meet code since the heater is being vented into another appliance - the fireplace. This method should not be attempted because combustion prod- ucts will deposit and build up in the firebox or fireplace. Be certain not to install a hazard in you house. You will void your warranty with this installa- tion.
