D-6 DRAFT DAMPER
A Draft Damper included with the stove must be
installed in the first straight section of pipe exit-
ing the stove before the stove pipe is connected
and the cook stove is used.
1. Drill two 1/4” holes centered on either side of
the pipe section 6” from the top end of the pipe
(figure 6).
2. Remove the handle from the damper then slide
the damper into the pipe.
3. Align the damper with the holes drilled in step
1 and insert the handle through the holes and
the damper.
NOTE: This damper is necessary for the proper
operation of the stove and to meet EPA
emissions requirements for heating appli-
ances. It MUST be installed before use.
(NO EXCEPTIONS)
Proper clearances must be maintained for ad-
equate air circulation. Adequate ventilation must be
provided while operating this stove.

crete, solid masonry, or when installed on a
combustible floor, on a Underwriters Labora-
tory Listed floor protector, such as Hy-C or

tend at least 18” beyond the front of the hearth,
18” to the sides of the stove, and must extend
under the stove pipe if it is elbowed towards a wall
(see figure 2 and consult local building codes and
