connector and chimney and cause a house/

building ﬁre. Inspect the chimney connector

and chimney twice monthly during the heating

season and clean if necessary. (See Chimney

Maintenance, page 10).

10. In the event of a chimney ﬁre, turn the air

control to closed position, leave the building

and CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IM-

MEDIATELY! Have a clearly understood plan

on how to handle a chimney ﬁre by contacting

your local ﬁre authority for information on

proper procedures in the event of a chimney

ﬁre.

11. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use

this stove who is unfamiliar with the correct

operation of the stove.

12. Do not operate stove while under the

inﬂuence of drugs or alcohol.

higher than the optional grate. Dispose of ashes

in a metal container with a tight ﬁtting lid. Keep

the closed container on a noncombustible ﬂoor

or on the ground, well away from all combus-

tible materials. Keep the ashes in the closed

container until all cinders have thoroughly

cooled. The ashes may be buried in the ground

or picked up by a refuse collector.

14. The special paints used on your stove may

give off some smoke and an odor while

they are curing during the ﬁrst 12 to 15 ﬁres.

Additional smoke and odor may be emitted

from the light oils used in construction of the

ﬁre box. This should disappear after a short

period of time and not occur again. Persons

with lung conditions or owners of susceptible

domestic pets (such as birds) should take

prudent precautions. Open windows and

doors as needed to clear smoke and/or odor.

Paint discoloration will occur if the stove is

overﬁred.

15. This stove has a painted surface which

is durable but it will not stand rough handling

or abuse. When installing your stove, use care

in handling. Clean with soap and warm water

when stove is NOT hot. Do not use any acids

or scouring soap, as these solvents wear and

dull the ﬁnish.

CONNECTOR PIPE INSTALLATION

Fig. 3 – Stovepipe/Flue Connections

CORRECT WRONG WRONG

1. The smooth end of the stovepipe ﬁts over the

cast iron damper collar. Secure with three (3)

sheet metal screws.

2. Horizontal pipe runs must slope upwards

towards the chimney at least 1/4” per foot of

horizontal run.

3. You must have at least 18 inches of clearance

between any horizontal piping and the ceil-

ing.

4. The pipe cannot extend into the chimney ﬂue

(ﬁgure 3).

5. Secure pipe/elbow sections with three (3) sheet

metal screws at each joint to make the piping

rigid.

6. It is recommended that no more than two (2)

90° bends be used in the stovepipe installa-

tion. The use of more than two 90° bends may

decrease the amount of draw and possibly

cause smoke spillage. Where possible, use only

corrugated (nonadjustable) elbows. These

provide a better seal.

7. The connector pipe must not pass through an

attic or roof space, closet, or any concealed

space, or ﬂoor, ceiling, wall or combustible

construction. A UL 103 HT Listed chimney

must be used from the ﬁrst penetration of

ceiling or wall to the chimney cap. Never use

single wall connector pipe as a chimney - a

house ﬁre could result.

NOTE: STOVE PIPE IS NOT INCLUDED.

TO PURCHASE PIPE, VISIT YOUR LOCAL

HARDWARE, HOME OR BUILDING CEN-

TER. SEE “LOCATING STOVE” PAGE 3 FOR

ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS.

www.vogelzang.com

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS

The stove must be connected to either a ma-

sonry or manufactured metal chimney built and

tested to the speciﬁcations listed on the previous

pages.

Chimneys perform two functions:

1). As a means of exhausting smoke and ﬂue

gases which are the result of fuel combustion.

2). The chimney provides “draft” which allows

oxygen to be continuously introduced into the

appliance, so that proper combustion is possible.

This stove relies on natural draft to operate.

NOTICE: Always provide a source of fresh air

into the room where the stove is located. Failure

to do so may result in air starvation of other fuel

burning appliances and the possible development

of hazardous conditions, ﬁre or death.

Your stove itself does not create draft. Draft is

provided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft

your chimney must meet the three minimum height

requirements detailed in ﬁgures 4–7. A minimum

of 0.05 w.c. (measured in water column) is required

for proper drafting to prevent back pufﬁng, smoke

spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges to

measure draft are readily available at stove stores

and are economical to rent or purchase.)

Factors such as wind, barometric pressure,

trees, terrain and chimney temperature can have

an adverse effect on the draft. The manufacturer

cannot be held responsible for external factors

leading to less than optimal drafting.

Should you have a problem with inadequate

draft, you should contact a licensed heating and

cooling contractor for assistance in solving the

problem.

IMPORTANT Installation Points

1. Size chimney ﬂue to stove collar. This stove

requires a 6” diameter ﬂue.

2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serv-

ing another appliance.

3. The chimney must meet all minimum

height requirements.

4. Never use a chimney to ventilate a cellar

or basement.

5. Contact your local building authority

for approved methods of installation and any

necessary permits and/or inspections.

MASONRY CHIMNEY

Before using an existing masonry chimney,

clean the chimney, inspect the ﬂue liner and make

any repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make

repairs before attaching the stove. The connec-

tor stove pipe and ﬁttings you will need to con-

nect directly to a masonry chimney are shown in

ﬁgure 4.

Fig. 5 - Chimney Construction Through Attic Space

If the connector stove pipe must go through a

combustible wall before entering the masonry chim-

ney, consult a qualiﬁed mason or chimney dealer.

The installation must conform to local building and

ﬁre codes and latest edition of NFPA 211.

If there is a cleanout opening in the base of the

chimney, close it tightly.

MANUFACTURED CHIMNEY

REFER TO CHIMNEY AND CHIMNEY

CONNECTOR MAKER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR

INSTALLATION AND USE.

Use only 6” diameter listed chimney UL 103

HT. Chimney made to this listing is High Tempera-

ture rated to 2100 degrees Fahrenheit. Use chimney

from only one manufacturer. Never mix brands.

Carefully follow the chimney manufacturer’s stated

requirements and clearances. Use the chimney

manufacturer’s attic guards, roof supports, ﬂashing

and ﬁre stops when passing through a ceiling. Use a

listed thimble when passing through a combustible

wall. Do not use makeshift compromises during

installation. Never use a single-wall connection

pipe as a chimney!

When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’s

condition and installation inspected before using.

Make sure that the chimney meets all of the UL

rating requirements listed above. Be aware that

not all manufactured chimney is of the UL 103

HT type.

NOTE: It is recommended that you contact a li-

censed heating and cooling contractor (consult your

local yellow pages) for chimney installation.

Manufactured chimney with the proper required

UL listing is available from most home centers,

hardware stores, and HVAC supply stores.

If you have access to the internet, you may

wish to view chimney manufacturers’ informa-

tion on-line. See, www.duravent.com, www.

selkirkinc.com, or www.mtlfab.com.

VENTING TO EXISTING FIREPLACE

In some instances, people desire to convert an

existing ﬁreplace for stove use. Usually, safe con-

nection to an existing masonry chimney requires

more work than using a prefabricated chimney.

The existing ﬁreplace must be closed and sealed at

the damper with high-temperature caulk, ceramic

wool, or furnace cement. Prior to installation, clean

and inspect the existing ﬂue and smoke shelf. In-

stallation should be designed so the system can be

dismantled for periodic cleaning and inspection.

Before conversion, make sure the existing chimney

is structurally sound, the chimney incorporates a

ﬂue liner and make sure it is in good condition.

(A ﬂue liner consists of clay tile that protects the

brickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does not

have a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined by

a professional. DO NOT USE a chimney that is

unlined or damaged!) If you have any question

regarding the condition of the chimney, consult a

qualiﬁed licensed contractor, qualiﬁed engineer,

competent mason, certiﬁed Chimney Sweep, or a

knowledgable inspector. Consult your insurance

company if you cannot ﬁnd a qualiﬁed expert.

CHIMNEY CONNECTIONS continued …

Fig. 8 - Fireplace Conversion

CAUTION: Not all ﬁreplaces are suitable

for conversion to a wood stove. Check

with a qualiﬁed expert.

Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the

“zero-clearance ﬁreplace” category. These consist

of multilayered metal construction. They are de-

signed with enough insulation and/or air cooling

on the base, back and sides so they can be safely

installed in direct contact with combustible ﬂoors

and walls. Although many prefabricated ﬁreplaces

carry endorsements from nationally recognized

organizations for use as ﬁreplaces, they have not

been tested for connection to wood stove heaters.

Connecting a stove to such a device will void the

manufacturer’s warranty.

Steel-lined fireplaces are constructed with

1/4” ﬁrebox liner, an air chamber in connection

with 8” of masonry. These can be safely used with

wood burning stoves. They contain all the essential

components of a ﬁreplace, ﬁrebox, damper, throat,

smoke shelf, and smoke chamber. Many look iden-

tical to masonry ﬁreplaces and should be checked

carefully before connecting a stove to them.

Venting a stove directly into a ﬁreplace does

not meet code and should not be attempted. (This

constitutes connection to another appliance - the

ﬁreplace.) Combustion products will be deposited

and build up in the ﬁrebox or ﬁreplace. The stove

warranty will be void with such an installation. Do

not create a hazard in your home by connecting in

this manner.

FIREPLACE INSTALLATION

Directly connecting the stovepipe into the exist-

ing masonry chimney (ﬁgure 12 “Type A” ﬁreplace

conversion) of the ﬁreplace is the only approved

method of installation. This is a complicated and

involved process and to insure safety should only

by done by a qualiﬁed installer.

1. An entry hole must be cut through the masonry

and tile liner with minimal damage to the liner.

At least 8” of liner must remain below the entry

position. When locating the stove and stove-

pipe, all minimum clearances must be observed

from combustible surfaces including mantels,

combustible trimwork, ceilings and walls.

Positioning the center of the stove pipe entry

into the chimney 24” below the ceiling should

insure proper clearance for a 6” stovepipe.

2. Install a metal or ﬁre clay (5/8” minimum thick-

ness) thimble. Make sure the thimble is ﬂush

with the inner surface of the chimney liner and

does not protrude into the ﬂue (see ﬁgure 4 on

page 6).

3. Secure the thimble with refractory mortar. The

thimble should be surrounded by 8” of solid

unit masonry brickwork or 24” of stone.

4. Install the stovepipe into the thimble as far as

possible without extending past the ﬂue lining

(see ﬁgures 4 on page 6).

5. A small airspace (about 1/2”) should remain

between the stovepipe and thimble to allow for

expansion of the pipe. Seal this airspace with

high-temperature caulking or ceramic wool.

6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed posi-

tion using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool,

or furnace cement. Also check to see if the

chimney has a cleanout. If it does, make sure it

is closed and sealed as well. A leaky cleanout

will greatly reduce draft efﬁciency.

If you have any questions regarding venting

your stove, contact the manufacturer or contact

the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

and request a copy of the latest editions of NFPA

Standard 211 and NFPA Standard 908. Their ad-

dress is:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This stove is designed to burn

WOOD FUEL ONLY.

Hardwood, 20” to 24” should be split and air

dried (seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum

burning efﬁciency. Wood should be stored in a dry,

well ventilated area.

NOTICE: USE SOLID WOOD MATERIALS ONLY.

DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE

FLUIDS. DO NOT USE COAL AS COAL OR

CHARCOAL WILL DESTROY THE GRATE AND/

OR THE FIREBOX.

NOTE:A 2”layer ofsandora layerofﬁrebrick

should be used as bottom insulation in the

Boxwood stove. An optional cast iron grate,

42G, may be used instead of ﬁrebrick or

sand. See Accessory Sheet included with

this manual for ordering information.

LIGHTING

1. Open draft damper fully to provide maximum

draft.

2. Open the feed door and place several wads of

crushed paper in the ﬁrebox.

3. Lay small stacks of kindling on the paper to

start the ﬁre.

4. Light the paper and kindling, close the door

and secure tightly.

5. Add fuel after ﬁre is burning briskly. Use care

not to smother the kindling ﬁre when adding

wood. Close the door and secure tightly.

6. Adjust the draft damper and spin draft

control. The more closed the spin draft is set,

the lower and slower the ﬁre will burn. The

more open, the faster and hotter the ﬁre will

burn. Do not overﬁre the stove.

ADDING FUEL

Add small amounts of fuel each hour or so

instead of piling large quantities of fuel at one

time. This will insure a more complete combustion

process and less buildup of tars, soot, or creosote

will occur in the chimney.

1. Always open draft damper before opening the

feed door.

MAINTENANCE & SERVICE HINTS

ASH DISPOSAL – Do not allow ashes to

accumulate higher than the optional grate or spin

damper. Dispose of properly. (See Safety Instruc-

tions #13, page 2.)

CHIMNEY DRAFT – Draft is a function of

the chimney, not the stove — do not expect the

stove to draw. Smoke spillage into the house or

excessive buildup of condensation or creosote in

the chimney are warnings that the chimney is NOT

functioning properly. Correct the problem before

using the stove. Following are some possible causes

for improper draft.

1. The connector stovepipe may be pushed

into the chimney too far, stopping the draft.

2. If the chimney temperature is too cool,

water will condense in the chimney and run back

into the stove. Creosote formation will be rapid

and may block the chimney. Operate the stove at a

ﬁre level high enough to keep the chimney warm

to prevent condensation from forming.

3. If the ﬁre burns well but sometimes creates

excess smoke or burns slowly, it may be caused by

the chimney top being lower than another part of

the house or a nearby tree. The wind blowing over

a house or tree, falls on top of the chimney like

water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The

top of the chimney should be at least three (3) feet

above the roof and be at least two (2) feet higher

than any point of the roof within ten (10) feet.

CREOSOTE – Formation and Removal.

Slow-burning wood produces tar and other organic

vapors which combine with expelled moisture to

form creosote. Creosote vapors condense in the

relatively cool chimney ﬂue of a slow-burning

ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on

the ﬂue lining. If ignited, this creosote creates an

extremely hot ﬁre which may ignite surrounding

materials resulting in a building ﬁre.

If creosote has accumulated, it should be

removed. Failure to remove creosote may result
