Before an existing chimney is used to vent a wood stove or fireplace, a thorough in- spection should be done to determine its suitability. This job is best performed by a professional chimney sweep who can give you ad- vice on the suitability of an existing chimney. For safety's sake, your chimney must conform to Ontario Building Code Stan- dards. It may be a masonry chimney with a tile-lined flue, or your chimney can be factory-built. If you are buying a wood stove, make sure the factory-built chimney has been certified HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL Lar building, 2 large glass truck doo Asking $378,500.

Their label on the stove in- dicates that the chimney meets acceptable safety standards. The performance of the chimney is the most impor- tant component of a wood- burning system. The chimney drives the system by producing the draft that draws in combustion air and exhausts smoke and gases outdoors. To unders- tand how chimneys func- tion, you have to remember the principle that hot air rises. Since hot exhausted gases from the fireplace are lighter than the outside air, chimney and colder air rushes into the appliance through fireplace openings to balance the negative pressure. The force caused by the rising gases is called draft. Draft is created by the difference in temperature between the gases in the chimney and the outside air. Greater temperature differences produce stronger draft. Chimneys must be check- ed regularly for creosote build-up because creosote is combustible and may catch fire in your chimney. The rate of creosote build- up depends on appliance and chimney characteristics, the type of fuel used, and on how the system is operated. Well- designed systems tend to have a slower rate of build- up, however, all systems have a faster rate of build- up in the spring and fall when heat demand is lower. Creosote may appear in the form of dry, flaky deposits clinging to the liner, or a shiny, glazed Check safety of your chimney coating that looks like black paint. Glazed creosote is the most dangerous kind and in- dicates that something is wrong with the system. Glazed creosote should never be allowed to exceed three millimetres in thickness and dry, flaky creosote should be removed when it reaches six millimetres in thickness. Brushes and rods are the most common chimney cleaning equipment. Plastic brushes are normally used in metal chimneys and steel brushes are used for masonry chimneys. The brush should fit snugly in the chimney so that enough friction is produced to remove deposits. Most chimney cleaning rods are made from fibreglass with threaded couplings at each end. Several passes with the brush are needed for thorough cleaning. Many homeowners prefer to contract the services of a chimney sweep rather than (Turn to page 6) GERRY MEHARG LTD.
