First order of business is to determine which stove you have. Getting a good idea of the hookup is important as well.
-
What model stove, and what manufacturing date?
-
What type of chimney, is it a masonry (brick), or a kit chimney?
-
If it is a kit chimney does it go straight up or out through a wall and up? How high above roof does it go?
-
Is the stove in a basement?
-
Does the stove have outside intake air hooked up? How is it ran?
-
If it is a masonry chimney, does the chimney have an ash clean out door?
-
What size flue is the chimney?
-
How new is the house?
