FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
This wood stove has been certified by the US EPA
to meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit
produces the optimal minimum emissions it is
critical that only well-seasoned cordwood is burned
(see the “Fuel Recommendations” section of this
manual). Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts
your stoves efficiency and leads to accelerated
creosote buildup in your chimney. Be considerate
of the environment and only burn dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE
WITH DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 3 to 4 pieces of newspaper
into the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 4 lbs
of kindling in random placement to ensure airflow
through the kindling. On top of the kindling, place
approximately 6 lbs of small pieces of cordwood.
NOTE: Use smaller pieces of wood during start-
up and a high burn rate to increase the stove
temperature.
4 lb
Turn the air control knob to the high position.
Light the newspaper, close the door, and allow the
kindling to ignite. Once the kindling has burned
down to a starter coal bed, load the unit with
approximately 24 lbs of fuel for the first high burn
load. Close the door immediately. After the first
high burn load and the stove is well warmed up,
adjust the unit as needed for a medium or low burn
setting.
24 lbs
For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is
burned down to an established coal bed, load the
unit with 27-28 lbs of cordwood and keep the door
slightly open for 5 minutes. Leave the air control
fully open (in the “HI” position) for 15 minutes. After
15 minutes turn the air control knob to the medium
position. The blower can be turned on after 30
minutes.
For a low burn setting once the high burn (or
medium) fuel load is burned down to an established
coal bed, load the unit with 27-28 lbs of cordwood
and keep the door slightly open for 5 minutes.
Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI” position)
for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes begin to turn the air
control knob to the “Low” position. NOTE: Do not
close the air too quickly. Closing the air too quickly
will cause the unit to smoke.
27-28 lbs
WARNINGS:
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY
PART OF THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED,
OVER FIRING IS HAPPENING. READJUST
THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL AT A LOWER
SETTING.
• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR
GRATES IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR
WOOD STOVE. BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON
FIREBRICK.
• NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK
LINING OF THE FIREBOX.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT
RATES THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN
SPECIFICATIONS CAN RESULT IN
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATER.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be
an effective method of determining how efficiently
the combustion process is taking place in the given
settings. Visible smoke consists of unburned fuel
