A well-balanced system provides an even, hot fire when it has good draft. The draft suction keeps smoke from coming into the room. Insulation in the chimney pipe is important because it helps keep the exhaust hot until it is expelled outside. Heat in the chimney makes draft, which pulls in more combustion air. This creates a hotter fire, delivering more heat to the chimney, resulting in more draft. The size of the flue is important for the system to work efficiently. The appliance manufacturers installation instructions will indicate how to size the flue to match the stoves flue collar. Stovepipe connects to the stove. It is the usually black interior pipe that transitions from the stove to the chimney pipe with an adapter. It is not insulated and cannot penetrate ceilings or walls. Chimney pipe is an insulated pipe that is rated to pass through walls and ceilings. In addition to the chimney pipe, supports to hold the system in place, and shields to protect areas from combusting, are needed for the system. The flashing, storm collar and chimney cap are required to seal the system from moisture penetration.
