Q.	What are the stoves made of? Our stoves are constructed from laser cut steel plate 1/8” to 3/16” thick. Insulated with ceramic fiber board, brass plated accent pieces, and a transparent self cleaning glass window designed for high heat.
Q.	How are they made? Raw materials are transformed into workable parts, other pieces are laser cut, then welded all together. The stoves are then hand painted, assembled and packaged. 100% made in Canada

Q.	How long does a full load burn for? Depending on weather conditions type of wood, and how you set your stove and your ventilation system. We have had Customers experience a 1-3 hour burn with embers continuing to burn for 4-6 hours after that.
Q.	What kind of fuel sources can be used? And what is the best wood to burn? The best wood to burn is hard, dry wood to achieve the best heat output and the longest burn. You can also use pressed wood logs and even charcoal works as well. You cannot use pellets what so ever.
Q.	(a) How much clearance is needed between the stove to combustibles? 20” in all directions is required. Clearances can be reduced by using our wall mount, and side shields. (b) How Much Clearance is needed between the flue pipe to combustibles? When the stove is installed on a wall the flue pipe MUST have a metal flashing behind the flue pipe. The flue is set 3” off the wall giving enough space in order not to be dangerous given that the metal flashing is present. When using the floor mount typically it is installed away from the wall where clearance are not an issue, until the point where the pipe exits through the ceiling, where the proper fittings must be installed
Q.	What is the diameter and length of the flue pipe? Our flue pipes are double wall made of stainless steel. The inside diameter of 2 7/8” and outside diameter of 3 1/8”. Each sections measures 24” in length and has 22 ½" of usable flue pipe.
Q.	Can I exit the flue pipe through a wall? We only suggest to exit out a roof. When you exit through a wall it requires two elbows. Due to the small diameter of our flue pipe, any bend in the flue pipe will create turbulence and possibly reduce the draft, restricting optimal performance of the stove. This is not to say it is impossible. If you must exit through a wall, you cannot use our flue pipe as we do not have elbows that work with our flue pipe. So you would need to source your flue pipes else where.
Q.	What is the minimum flue length required? We recommend a minimum of two sections of straight pipe off the stove. When calculating the total length of the flue pipe consider the top of the flue pipe must surpass your roof line by one foot to ensure proper draft and safety. You could use less and it would work, but for best results use 2 sections if possible.
Q.	What are the different installation options? You can install either of our stoves using our wall mount, floor mount, or a custom installation that respects the clearances.
Q.	Is it easy to install a Cubic mini wood stove? It is, when using either our wall mount or floor mount. Both methods require 4 screws to fix it to the corresponding surface.You can see our instructional videos and images here, https://cubicminiwoodstoves.com/pages/installation-manuals

Q.	Does the wall mount come with the mounting bracket and all necessary hardware? It does, it comes with everything needed, the mounting bracket, screws, bushing, and washers.
Q.	Is the stove insulated? It is, we use a high density fire board made from spun ceramic, which increases the efficiency.
Q.	Can I use it to cook? You can, we have made many meals on our stoves. You cannot cook with oil or grease when cooking directly on top of the stove because it could be fire hazard. If using our Grizzly stove (CB-1210) we now have our Mini Roaster (CB-7200) which allows you to turn the top of your stove into an oven.

Q.	Should I worry about creosote buildup? A 3" flue pipe has a much higher ratio of surface area to air moving through it than an 8" flue pipe does. This means it cools much quicker. This is why you must use a double wall flue pipe to maintain the flue gas temperatures to have the cleanest flue possible and the best draft. By burning wood, creosote is produced. It will want to stick to any cold surface. This is why the double wall flue pipe is so important. It keeps the inner pipe hot so the flue gases do not have a chance to cool down. Check your flue pipe after one week of use, and if not too dirty you can push it back another week until you determine your cleaning schedule.
Q.	Do I need to install a fresh air intake? The use of a fresh air intake is generally not required. The air is normally replaced through cracks in the space, and in most cases you can just open a window slightly. However, there are certain instances that it is necessary due to specific situations, such as tightly sealed spaces. For that we have a wall mount with a fresh air intake for each stove.
Q.	Is a damper required? Dampers are not needed for our stoves, as you can control the flow of air on the stove itself. It can also restrict the draft.
Q.	Can I install the Deck fitting on a sloped roofs? The Dickinson deck fitting is for flat roofs. however if your situation permits you can build a box to compensate for the angle to provide a flat surface for the Deck fitting.
Q.	Where can I find Dickinson fittings?You can find almost all products online on their respective websites. For Dickinson parts you might be able to find them at a local marine supply store.
