The appliance manufacturer's installation instructions will indicate how to size the flue to match the stoves flue collar. The size of the flue is important for the system to work efficiently. This creates a hotter fire, delivering more heat to the chimney, resulting in more draft. Heat in the chimney makes a draft, which pulls in more combustion air. Insulation in the chimney pipe is important because it helps keep the exhaust hot until it is expelled outside. The draft suction keeps smoke from coming into the room. A well-balanced system provides an even, hot fire when it has a good draft. The chimney system allows your stove or fireplace to exhaust flue gases while a draft creates the draw that pulls fresh combustion air into the stove. Need more information?
