This will begin the highly efficient mode of operation where 

the exhaust gases get re-burned in the secondary combustion 

package. If you cannot achieve a charcoal bed within the first 

15 to 20 minutes, your wood is likely too wet, and you may 

need to burn the fire longer and/or hotter to compensate for 

the extra energy needed to drive out the moisture. If, after 

five minutes of burning with the damper closed, smoke is 

visible coming from the chimney, you probably do not have 

the proper coal bed. Open the bypass damper and continue 

with the process until a significant coal bed is formed. 
Always remember to open the bypass damper when you are 

loading, this allows the exhaust gases to pass directly into 

the flue outlet and reduces the chance of smoke spillage 

into the room. 

Reloading: 

Once you have prepared and maintained a thick 

charcoal bed, and the secondary combustion is established, 

you should be able to reload the stove at any time by simply 

opening the bypass damper, then the load door, adding fuel 

and closing the door then the damper. This depends on coal 

bed size, load size and moisture content of fuel.

Removing Ashes:

  Before  reloading,  empty  the  ash  pan 

(remember to close the ash door while emptying the pan). 

The ashes should be the coolest at this time. Remove ashes 

from the fire chamber periodically by raking a poker across 

the bottom grates.
Excessive ash buildup can prevent proper venting of exhaust 

gases.  Do  not  allow  the  ash  pan  to  over-fill. Ash  buildup 

between the ash pan and the bottom of the grate can cause 

the grate to overheat and wear out prematurely.
The Oakleaf is designed to provide access to the ash pan 

without the need for opening the main door. Before opening 

the ash door and removing the ash pan, open the bypass 

damper. Wearing heavy protective gloves, open the ash door 

and remove the ash pan by pulling it forward by the handle. 

Close the ash door and damper bypass before taking the 

ashes outside for safe disposal.

Avoid  overfiring  your  stove.  Overfiring  is  a  potentially 

hazardous  situation  which  can  lead  to  overheating  of 

combustible  materials  nearby,  damage  to  the  stove,  and 

in extreme cases, cause a fire. Overfiring is caused by: 1. 

Too much air flowing through the stove too quickly. 2. You 

may have positioned the primary air control lever too far to 

the right. 3. Inadvertently leaving the damper open or 4. Not 

keeping up with routine maintenance, such as checking door 

gaskets for wear.
Overfiring results in excessive fuel consumption, and may 

cause parts of the stove or chimney connector to glow red. 

If you notice signs of overfiring, reduce the air supply to the 

fire, and review the Maintenance section in this manual.
In the event of a chimney fire, call your local fire department; 

make sure everyone is safely out of the house. Reduce the 

air  intake  of  the  stove  as  much  as  possible  using  the  air 

control lever; close the bypass damper to further restrict air 

flow. Do not throw water on the fire; this can cause stove 

damage and create an even more dangerous situation. Have 

your chimney professionally cleaned and inspected before 

resuming burning in your stove.
As you begin to operate your stove at higher temperatures, 

you will notice a “hot” or unpleasant smell; this is just the 

paint going through the curing process, and will disappear 

after a few fires.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a 

tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should 

be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, 

well away from all combustible materials, pending final 

disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil 

or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained 

in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly 

cooled.

Never use the ash disposal container for other trash. Wood 

ash can be added to your garden or compost.

ThE  STOVE  IS  hOT  WhILE  IN  OPERATION.  KEEP 

CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AwAY. 

CONTACT mAy CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

 

NEVER LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED IF EITHER 

THE ASH OR LOAD DOOR IS OPEN. OVERFIRING 

MAY RESULT.

RISK  OF  ExCESSIVE  TEmPERATURES.  KEEP ASh 

DOOR CLOSED DURING FIRING OF THE HEATER.
