OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS continued…

height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture

content. Some experimentation will initially be required

to ﬁnd that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best.

The following will give you a starting point to ﬁnd your

optimum settings.

When ﬁrst loading fuel set the door air inlet control

at the wide open position for at least 15–20 minutes.

When the stove is working properly you should be able

to observe secondary combustion ﬂames above the fuel

pieces in front of the secondary air tubes at the top of

the ﬁrebox. These secondary ﬂames should continue to

burn after the primary air inlet is reset from wide open

to the desired operating setting. If the ﬂames do not

continue to burn, open the air control to re-establish the

secondary ﬂames then slowly reset the air control to the

desired setting. Initially it may take several attempts to

ﬁgure your stove out. But once you ﬁnd the operating

“sweet spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get

there, only minor adjustments will be necessary.

The best indicator of a properly operating stove

is to look for smoke coming out of the chimney. You may

see steam emissions that will quickly dissipate. Smoke

will thin but continue to drift without totally disappearing.

If you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control

a little bit, let the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and

re-check your chimney. Remember – visible smoke

represents lost heat.

NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT

Because of the high operating temperatures, this

stove uses a special high-temp paint which requires

a series of burns to cure the paint for durability and a

lifetime of service.

Proper curing of the high-temp paint requires a

series of three initial burns. The stove should be allowed

to cool off between each burn. The ﬁrst two burns should

be small ﬁres and low temperatures (250 degrees F) for

a duration of 20 minutes each. The third ﬁre should be at a

medium-high temperature (500 F to 700 F) for twenty

minutes. Provide adequate cross ventilation to clear any

smoke or odor caused by initial ﬁrings.

STARTING A FIRE

1. Set air inlet control to fully open position.

2. Open the feed door and place several wads of

crushed paper in the ﬁrebox.

3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling

in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.

4. Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly.

DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH

DOOR OPEN!

5. Add large pieces of wood as the ﬁre progresses

being careful not to overload. (Do not ﬁll ﬁrebox

beyond ﬁrebrick area.) An ideal coal bed of 1 –2”

should be established to achieve optimum perfor-

mance.

6. This unit is designed to function most effectively

when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the

ﬁrebox. TIP: If ash or coals remain in the stove,

make sure to clear them away from the Lower Pri-

mary Air Oriﬁce (LPAO) and rake a slight (1-to-2

inch wide) trough down the center of the coal bed

from front to back prior to loading the fuel.

7. Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and

leave the air inlet control fully open until ﬁre is well

established (at least 15–20 minutes) being careful

not to overﬁre (if any of the exterior parts of the

stove or chimney connections begin to glow you

are overﬁring the stove).

8. Re-adjust the door air inlet control to desired burn

rate. (If excessive smoke ﬁlls the ﬁrebox, open air

inlet control slightly until ﬂames resume and wood

is sufﬁciently ignited.) The basic rule of thumb is

“closed - low,” “half way open - medium” and “fully

open - high.”

NOTE: The four (4) inlet holes in the primary air inlet

control slide are designed to remain partially open

with slide in the closed position.

ADDING FUEL

If the coal bed is not hot and glowing, rake the coals

to the front of the stove, close the door and adjust the air

inlet control to the wide open position. Let the coals re-

heat for 10–15 minutes. When hot and glowing, spread

them out and place your next fuel load into the stove

(make sure no coals or ashes block the LPAO). Leave

the door air inlet control in the wide open position for

15–20 minutes.

Fuel load size can vary but should be kept 1–2

inches below the secondary air tubes. Also position the

fuel to leave space so the air from the inlet can work

down between the pieces of fuel. This reduces the time

it takes for new fuel to burn properly.

1. When refueling, adjust air inlet control to the fully

open position. When ﬁre brightens, slowly and

carefully open the door. This procedure will prevent

gases from igniting causing smoke and ﬂame spill-

age.

2. When adding fuel be careful not to hit, bump or

damage the ceramic bafﬂe board located at the top

of the ﬁrebox. Be careful not to overload or over ﬁre

the stove.

3. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the ﬁre.

Do not build ﬁres against glass and make sure the
