Primary Air left open
Operation with the primary air controls left open: The air spinner on the door can create excess
smoke and over-fire the stove if left open when burning wood. Leaving the door ajar when hot
can also cause over firing and smoke emissions.

Information on Smokeless Fuel (Maxibrite) burning
Maxibrite, briquetted smokeless and smokeless coal type fuels require very different burning
conditions to log burning and the stove has been designed to allow for this. Use the bottom air
control on the lower part of the door and very little air wash air (slider above the door almost
closed) for best efficiency on these types of fuel. Maxibrite and other smokeless briquetted
fuels can burn with very little primary air and stay in for many hours to be revived after an
overnight burn for example. NEVER use household or any grade of smoky coals.

Lighting the Stove
We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its
maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life
of the paint finish. During this curing in process you
may notice an unpleasant smell whilst the finishes
finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we
would suggest that during this period you leave all
doors and windows open.
First, open the air wash slider control fully to the
right side and open the primary air control by
unscrewing anti-clockwise fully (about 3 full turns).
Load the firebox with some fully dry small logs or
split logs in a crossed pattern. Make sure the grate
is well covered and no big gaps are present.
Next add plenty of dry kindling sticks and a firelighter ON
TOP of the 4 logs. A crib lattice pattern tends to work well.
If using Maxibrite, place a layer of Maxibrite into the
firebox on the base as well and omit the large logs but use
plenty of kindling so that the charcoal from the wood
ignites the Maxibrite well.
Light the firelighter(s), leaving the air controls fully open
and close the door. It should not be necessary to leave the
door open but DO NOT leave the stove unattended if you
find it necessary to leave the door ajar.
The kindling will burn and set light to the logs by radiation
and breaking down to charcoal gradually and with fewer
emissions than the traditional logs on top methods.
