SELECTING WOOD
•
THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN
TREATED WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLORED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR
GARBAGE.
•
HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS WILL GENERALLY RESULT WHEN
BURNING AIR DRIED SEASONED WOODS, AS COMPARED TO WET, GREEN OR
FRESHLY CUT WOODS.
•
BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE
ACCUMULATION. WHEN IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT
IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.
Use dry seasoned wood, split and stacked and protected from rain for at least 24 months with a moisture content
of 20% or lower. It takes a great deal of energy to evaporate the moisture contained in green wood and that
energy will not be heating your house. Also, green or wet wood will greatly increase creosote problems. Th
e
only accurate method to determine moisture content in wood is to use a moisture meter.
Never burn salt-water drift wood. It is very corrosive and will damage the fi rebox. Burning salty wood also voids
the warranty.
Th
is controlled combustion fi rebox has been designed for high effi
ciency and long burn times. Th
e proper time
to add more wood is when the last charge has been reduced to a glowing charcoal bed and while the catalytic
thermometer is still active range. Th
ere will be very little smoke at this stage in the burn cycle.
Both hardwood and soft wood burn equally well in this appliance but hardwood, which is more dense, will weigh
more per cord and burn a little slower and longer.
Firewood should be split and stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to
be ready for burning that fall.
The only accurate way to determine wood moisture is to purchase a moisture meter.
• NEVER START A FIRE UNLESS ALL BRICKS ARE CORRECTLY PLACED INSIDE THE
FIREBOX. CHECK THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
• ALWAYS OPEN THE BYPASS DOOR BEFORE OPENING THE LOADING DOOR.
• ONCE THE LOADING DOOR IS CLOSED, CLOSE THE BYPASS DOOR DIRECTLY AFTER
THE CATALYTIC THERMOSTAT NEEDLE IS IN THE ACTIVE ZONE
