| This is what should be done to safely use
| |
| | chord that will fit all around the door
|
| a wood heating system. Before you ever
| |
| | in the groove. Scrape out any of the old
|
| start a fire in your wood heater check
| |
| | chord still inside the heater door groove
|
| the stove pipe and chimney. Look to see
| |
| | and when clean wipe it with a rag. Apply
|
| they are properly connected and that they
| |
| | the liquid adhesive a few drops at a time
|
| have no holes showing. Fumes like carbon
| |
| | to the inside of the groove. The warmth
|
| monoxide, as well as smoke, could escape
| |
| | of the door will cause it to become
|
| into your house through a hole in the
| |
| | sticky in a few minutes. When the
|
| stove pipe, as could flames f you ever
| |
| | adhesive becomes gel-like, press the
|
| have a small chimney fire. That could
| |
| | chord into the groove with a screwdriver.
|
| start a house fire.Open a window some to
| |
| | Hold the chord in place for a few
|
| allow oxygen from outside to enter the
| |
| | moments while it sets, attaching a few
|
| room where your heater is burning. The
| |
| | inches of the chord to the groove at a
|
| fire burns up the oxygen present in the
| |
| | time. When it is all in place, close the
|
| room when the heater is operating.It is a
| |
| | heater door. Tighten the door latch as
|
| good idea to have your heater sitting on
| |
| | much as possible and let it set for about
|
| a sheet metal base, that stretches out in
| |
| | fifteen minutes.The chimney must be
|
| front of the heater's door. This metal
| |
| | checked for an excess of soot deposited
|
| sheet spreads out any excessive heat on
| |
| | on its inside. It is a good idea to open
|
| the floor and should the fire spit out
| |
| | the hole for the soot to fall down the
|
| burning embers when the door is opened
| |
| | chimney and stove pipe into the heaters
|
| for putting wood in, the floor will be
| |
| | burning chamber. This is done by turning
|
| protected from burns. This can often
| |
| | two fire bricks on their side at the top
|
| happen if the wood being burnt is not
| |
| | of the heaters burning chamber.Wear old
|
| completely dry. Some types of wood like
| |
| | clothes. Take hand wiping rag, chimney
|
| spruce will tend to pop and spit embers
| |
| | cleaning brush, and the tools needed to
|
| frequently while burning.Check the fire
| |
| | remove the stove pipe cap at the top of
|
| proof chord seal around the door of the
| |
| | your chimney. Carefully climb onto the
|
| heater, making sure that there are no
| |
| | roof. Take off the chimney cap and brush
|
| holes or gaps present. You want the fire
| |
| | the soot off the inside of the cap. Look
|
| box of your heater air tight when you
| |
| | inside the chimney. You will likely see
|
| close the draft lever shutting off the
| |
| | a layer of black soot covering the top of
|
| air flow. The draft lever allows you to
| |
| | the chimney. Blow it away. Take the
|
| control how hot the fire burns. Closing
| |
| | chimney brush and carefully push it down
|
| the draft lever slows down the fire by
| |
| | and pull it up the chimney. Do this
|
| stopping its oxygen supply.You should
| |
| | repeatedly until you see no more black
|
| keep a door seal repair kit on hand. It
| |
| | near the top of the chimney. When it's
|
| contains a tube of liquid adhesive and a
| |
| | clean reattach the cap onto the chimney,
|
| length of fire proof rope-like chord. If
| |
| | clean your hands and tools with the rag
|
| you can see the light of the fire through
| |
| | and be careful climbing down off the
|
| the edge of the door where the door seal
| |
| | roof. Take your time. It is not worth

| |
| | getting hurt by falling.Wood heat is a
|
| to do the repair when the door of the
| |
| | comfortable way of heating your home but
|
| heater is still quite warm. Measure and
| |
| | it does take some safety knowledge and
