2.4 EPA
Loading
The loading methods shown below are those that were used during emissions certification.
2.4.1 Air
control
The air control is located underneath the ash shelf. To open
the air control, push the air control handle completely to the
left (High). This will increase the burn rate. To close the air
control, push the air control handle completely to the right
(Low). This will decrease the burn rate.
2.4.2
High burn rate (primary air control open)
Open the air control completely. Place six small pieces (2"x2")
of wood in the firebox crossing them at the greatest possible
angle. Criss cross fifteen kindling wood pieces on the small pieces of wood in three layers at the
greatest possible angle. T ie knot with five sheets of paper and place them on top of the kindling
wood. Light up the paper and let the door ajar at 90° until all the kindling wood is on fire and
the first row of small pieces of wood is on fire too. Close the door.
When there is no more fire in the front of the firebox and there are only faint flames on the wood
in the back of the firebox, break ashes, level the coal bed and put four logs in the firebox. Place
the biggest log (about 5"x5") and a medium log (about 4"x4") on the coal bed with a north-south
orientation. Place two other medium logs on the first two with the greatest possible angle. Their
should be air space between each logs and between the logs and the bricks. Let the door ajar
at 90° for approximately two minutes and then close the door.
2.4.3
Medium and low burn rate
On a 2" coal bed that is still slightly red, place five logs of approximatively 4"x4" or 3"x3" with
a north-south orientation. Place three logs on the coal bed and the other two on top with the
greatest possible angle. Their should be air space between each logs and between the logs
and the bricks. Let the door ajar at 90° for approximately 5 min. Then, close the door with the
primary air control open. Leave to burn with the primary air control open for approximately 10
minutes and then close the primary air control completely for the low burn rate and halfway for
the medium burn rate.
