Q&A Trolla Stove and chimney questions

Question:

I am planning on installing a Trolla Brug No. 354 Wood Stove made in Sweden- please answer the following questions.
1. The opening for the stovepipe is 5 inches- will this be a problem when installing stovepipe and chimney? Do we need an adapter? Where can we get one?
2. The stove has molded clay fire brick that has cracked- how do we replace it?
3. Is there an ideal place to have the chimney on the pitch of a roof? What positioning provides the best draft? Is there a formula?
4. Have you heard of our type of stove- can we get parts for it?



Answer:

1. Many stove shops will have 5 to 6 adapters . If the collar is metric- you can make up the difference by using black furnace cement and crimpers.
2. Use refractory cement- available at your local stove store or masonry supply
3. Generally- the taller the better..and the less turns the better. You do have to extend the chimney higher than any point within 10 feet...see the document http://hearth.com/what/installstove.html
4. I've heard of it- but it's been over a decade since it's been imported...parts will be extremely difficult to get- but there are parts suppliers that will make interior parts for it from your old piece. See the links on our Products Page and at Parts Place for these suppliers.
