Some Things Worth Knowing about the Smoke Pipe
Description of the Smoke Pipe’s Function
The smoke pipe is the duct located between your wood-burning stove
and chimney. Your WIKING wood-burning stove is equipped with an
exhaust pipe 150 mm in diameter, which is compatible with all WIKING
smoke pipes. Purchasing original WIKING smoke pipes provides you
with pieces with the exact same colour and surface as your wood-bur-
ning stove, as they are treated with the same lacquer. WIKING smoke
pipes are available in many different shapes and lengths to match you
individual needs.
If your stove is to be connected to a brick chimney, it is best to mount a curved smoke pipe to
the stove’s top outlet. The WIKING Fullform (see Figure 4) smoke pipe extends a half meter
over the stove and then into the brick chimney. Opting for this solution - in which the smoke
pipe extends a half meter over the stove before connecting to the chimney - provides your
home with 1 kW of extra warmth. The curved shape ensures minimum soot build-up in the pipe
and thereby lessens the risk of chimney res. We only recommend this solution provided that
your brick chimney is completely sealed and has a sufcient draft. You can read more on the
chimney in the next section.
Some Things Worth Knowing about the Chimney
Description of the Chimney’s Function
The chimney serves as the wood-burning stove’s ‘motor’, and it is crucial to the stove’s proper
functioning. The chimney draft creates a vacuum inside the wood-burning stove. This vacuum
serves two purposes:
To remove smoke from inside the wood-burning stove.
To suck air in through the air damper during lighting and combustion, and to keep the
glass pane free of soot.
How to create the best possible chimney draft
Even a quality chimney can function poorly if used improperly. It is crucial that both your wood-
burning stove and the chimney are installed in accordance with the directions; otherwise it will
not be possible to attain satisfactory combustion.
Chimney draft is created by the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of
the chimney. The higher the temperature inside the chimney, the better the chimney draft. It
is therefore very important that the chimney is thoroughly heated before you close the pri-
mary damper and limit combustion inside the stove; see the section on lighting and ring your
WIKING wood-burning stove on page 29. Please be aware that it takes longer to heat a brick
chimney than a steel chimney.
On days when weather and wind conditions create a poor draft in the chimney, it is especially
important to heat up the chimney as quickly as possible. When lighting, use extra-nely split
rewood and an extra relighter, as ames quickly heat up the stove.
