US Customers: Below is our
Bistro Line Venting Recommendations Page. This information is provided to assist in safe and functional
installation of Wood Stone Bistro Line ovens.
Above all, the oven must be installed in accordance with all relevant
local and national codes, and in a manner
acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction.

All of the combustion products and cooking vapors
from the WS-BL-4343-RFG and WS-BH-4343-RFG pass through the 10" diameter
flue collar (8" for the WS-BL-3030-RFG and WS-BH-3030-RFG), located atop
the exhaust transition. The oven can be connected to a power
ventilated chimney, or placed under a hood. All gas fired models
that include a (-W) in the model number are listed to allow the burning
of up to 3lbs of wood per hour for flavor, but MUST be vented as
SOLID-FUEL equipment.
The following are the manufacturer’s recommendations for
venting Wood Stone Bistro Line ovens.
It is never appropriate to
use "B vent" in any part of an exhaust system
connected to a Wood Stone oven. All ducting material must be
manufactured to the specifications of a grease duct. Due
to the possibility of sparks entering the duct, exhaust systems
serving SOLID-FUEL equipment SHOULD NOT be
combined with exhaust systems serving other (non-solid-fuel) cooking
equipment.

There are two options:
1. A Listed building heating appliance chimney, also
listed as a grease duct connected directly to the oven flue
collar and provided with a power ventilator listed for restaurant
appliance exhaust and rated for operation at a
minimum of 300 degrees F; 450 degrees F for
solid-fuel, use a stack or curb mounted fan.
Wood Stone does not recommend the use of an in-line fan. A single wall chimney/duct connector (of
unspecified length) may be used to connect the oven to a listed building
heating appliance chimney also rated as a grease
duct. Any single wall ducting should be a minimum of 0.044"
stainless steel or 16 ga. mild steel (0.055") and must maintain
a minimum of 18" clearance to combustibles.
A static pressure of -0.1 inches water column is necessary at the oven flue
collar to ensure proper flue temperatures. The airflow required
to attain this static pressure will depend on the configuration
of your particular installation but will probably be between
300
and 500 CFM. The
exhaust fan must be turned on any time the oven is running. See
the Installation Manual for optional interlocking of the oven to the
fan.
2. Wood Stone offers
eyebrow-type hoods designed specifically for Wood Stone ovens
manufactured by Gaylord Industries.
