Chamber

The chimney that is used to burn logs must be equipped with a fireplace. In the past, this was accomplished with bricks. However, in recent years it has become more common to use prefabricated paneling which can be connected to the fireplace cavity wall with heat cement. They are much easier to put in and more efficient than traditional masonry fireplaces. Ideally, they should be installed prior to the stove is installed.

The purpose of the fireplace chamber is to protect the chimney from the high temperatures that are generated inside by the fire, and to stop the accumulation of creosote within the chimney itself. The chamber also serves to radiate the heat back into the room, rather than letting it through the chimney. Before installing a new stove it is essential to fix any holes or cracks that are present in the walls of the smoke chamber. They can let excessive heat into the room and create combustible materials such as wood.
