Chimney connections
The stove must be connected to either a masonry or manufactured metal chimney built andtested to the specifications listed on the previous
pages.
Chimneys perform two functions:1). As a means of exhausting smoke and fluegases which are the result of fuel combustion.
2). The chimney provides “draft” which allows
oxygen to be continuously introduced into theappliance, 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 fuelburning appliances and the possible developmentof hazardous conditions, fire or death.
Your stove itself does not create draft. Draft isprovided by the chimney. To achieve proper draft
your chimney must meet the three minimum heightrequirements detailed in figures 4–7. A minimumof 0.05 w.c. (measured in water column) is requiredfor proper drafting to prevent back puffing, smoke
spillage, and to maximize performance. (Gauges tomeasure 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 havean 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 andcooling contractor for assistance in solving the
problem.
IMPORTANT Installation Points
1. Size chimney flue to stove collar. This stoverequires a 6” diameter flue.
2. Never connect this unit to a chimney serving 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 anynecessary permits and/or inspections.

Masonry Chimney
Before using an existing masonry chimney,clean the chimney, inspect the flue liner and makeany repairs needed to be sure it is safe to use. Make
repairs before attaching the stove. The connector stove pipe and fittings you will need to connect directly to a masonry chimney are shown infigure 4.

installation. Never use a single-wall connection
pipe as a chimney!
When using a pre-existing chimney, have it’scondition 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 licensed heating and cooling contractor (consult yourlocal 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.

Venting to Existing Fireplace
In some instances, people desire to convert anexisting fireplace for stove use. Usually, safe connection 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, ceramicwool, or furnace cement. Prior to installation, clean
and inspect the existing flue and smoke shelf. Installation should be designed so the system can bedismantled for periodic cleaning and inspection.
Before conversion, make sure the existing chimney
is structurally sound, the chimney incorporates aflue liner and make sure it is in good condition.
(A flue liner consists of clay tile that protects thebrickwork of a chimney. If a chimney does nothave a liner, or it is damaged, have it relined bya professional. Do Not use a chimney that isunlined or damaged!) If you have any question
regarding the condition of the chimney, consult aqualified licensed contractor, qualified engineer,
competent mason, certified Chimney Sweep, or aknowledgable inspector. Consult your insurancecompany if you cannot find a qualified expert.

Vogelzang International Corp.

BX42E / Page 7

Chimney connections continued …
CAUTION: Not all fireplaces are suitablefor conversion to a wood stove. Check
with a qualified expert.
Many prefabricated fireplaces are of the“zero-clearance fireplace” category. These consistof multilayered metal construction. They are designed with enough insulation and/or air coolingon 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 recognizedorganizations for use as fireplaces, they have notbeen 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 withwood burning stoves. They contain all the essential
components of a fireplace, firebox, damper, throat,smoke shelf, and smoke chamber. Many look identical 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. (Thisconstitutes connection to another appliance - thefireplace.) Combustion products will be depositedand 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 inthis manner.

Fireplace Installation
Directly connecting the stovepipe into the existing masonry chimney (figure 12 “Type A” fireplace
conversion) of the fireplace is the only approved
method of installation. This is a complicated andinvolved 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 stovepipe, 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 thickness) thimble. Make sure the thimble is flushwith the inner surface of the chimney liner anddoes not protrude into the flue (see figure 4 onpage 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 withhigh-temperature caulking or ceramic wool.
6. Secure and seal the damper in the closed position using high-temp caulking, ceramic wool,or furnace cement. Also check to see if thechimney has a cleanout. If it does, make sure itis 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 address is:Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

Operating Instructions
CAUTION: HOUSE FIRE HAZARDS• Do not store wood on floor protector, underneath stovepipe or anywhere within minimum clearances fromcombustible surfaces specified forthis stove.
• Overfiring may cause a house fire.
You are over firing If the stove or
chimney connector glows red.
WARNING: Explosion Hazard• Never use chemicals, gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
flammable liquids to start or “freshen-up” a fire in the stove.
• Keep all flammable liquids, especially gasoline, out of the vicinityof the stove — whether in use or instorage.
Operating Safety Precautions
1.		 Never over fire this stove by building excessively hot fires as a house/building fire may result. You are overfiring the stove If stove or stovepipe
begins to glow or turn red.
2.		 Never build extremely large fires
in this type of stove as damage to thestove or smoke leakage may result.
3.		 Stove is HOT while in operation. Keepchildren, clothing, and Furniture awayfrom hot stove. Contact may cause skinburns. Do not touch the stove after
firing until it has cooled.
4.		 Provide air into the room for proper combustion.
5.		 Inspect stovepipe every 60 days.
Replace immediately if stovepipe isrusting or leaking smoke into theroom.

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 flammablefluids. Do Not Use Coal as Coal or
charcoal will destroy the Grate and/or the Firebox.

NOTE: A 2” layer of sand or a layer of firebrickshould be used as bottom insulation in the
Boxwood stove. An optional cast iron grate,
42G, may be used instead of firebrick orsand. See Accessory Sheet included withthis manual for ordering information.
Lighting
1. Open draft damper fully to provide maximum
draft.
2. Open the feed door and place several wads ofcrushed paper in the firebox.
3. Lay small stacks of kindling on the paper tostart the fire.
4. Light the paper and kindling, close the doorand 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 thefeed door.

2. When adding fuel be careful not to smotherthe fire.
3. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
4. Adjust the damper and spin draft control.
5. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes
to pile up higher than the top of the hearth (seeSafety Instructions #13 page 2). If ashes build
up to the grate, burnout will occur.
6. Properly dispose of hot ashes (see Safety
Instructions, item #13 on page 2.)
7. Do not over fire the stove.

CAUTION: Slow burning fires andextended use m ay cause exces sive creosote buildup. Ignition ofcreosote buildup or over firing may
cause a chimney fire. Chimney fires
burn extremely hot and may ignite
surrounding materials. In case of achimney fire immediately leave thebuilding and call the fire department
from a safe location.

CAUTION: DO NOT OVER FIRE appliance.
Too much wood or burning non-recommended materials such as trash or
flammable liquids may cause over firing. You are over firing if the chimney
connectors or stove glows red. Closethe door, spin draft and damper immediately to reduce the air supply to thefire. This will slow down the fire.

Maintenance & Service Hints
ASH DISPOSAL – Do not allow ashes toaccumulate higher than the optional grate or spin
damper. Dispose of properly. (See Safety Instructions #13, page 2.)
Chimney Draft – Draft is a function of
the chimney, not the stove — do not expect thestove 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 backinto the stove. Creosote formation will be rapid
and may block the chimney. Operate the stove at afire 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 overa house or tree, falls on top of the chimney like
Page 10 / BX42E

water over a dam, beating down the smoke. The
top of the chimney should be at least three (3) feetabove 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 toform creosote. Creosote vapors condense in therelatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning
fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on
the flue lining. If ignited, this creosote creates anextremely 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 resultin ignition and may cause a house/building fire.
Creosote may be removed using a chimney brushor other commonly available materials from yourlocal hardware retailer.

Maintenance & Service continued …
Chimney Inspections – The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected at
the beginning of and at least twice a month during the heating season to determine if a creosotebuildup has occurred.
Chimney fires burn very hot. If the chimney
connector should glow red, reduce the fire byclosing the damper and spin draft control and
immediately call the fire department.

Stove Joints – Required Tune-up.
This stove is manufactured with cast ironcomponents. It does not have weldedseams. Periodic “tune up” may be required byrefilling and/or replacing the cement/joint mortar
along the seams where the cast iron components
meet.

CAUTION: A chimney fire may cause
ignition of wall studs or rafters
which were assumed to be a safe
distance fro m the chi m ney. I f achimney fire has occurred, have yourchimney inspected by a qualified
expert before using again.

A fire in the stove may be smothered bypouring a large quantity of coarse salt, baking soda,
or cool ashes on top of the fire.
