Assembly Instructions - (cont.)
Step 4 : Continue assembly of the second and third courses of
the side wall and back wall. Apply mortar to the top of each
layer of wall components, then set the next course above into
place.
Be sure to mortar all vertical joints of the side wall to back wall
connection when setting each component to its mate.
(Figure 18)
Look for some Earthcore Mortar to squeeze out along the joints
of all contact surfaces as sign that the joint is thoroughly sealed
with Earthcore Mortar.
Step 5 : Once all the firebox wall components are set check the
top surface of the firebox for level. Shim leveling process must
be filled with mortar to full bearing against the base plate.
Step 6: Begin the smoke dome assembly by setting the rear
bottom smoke dome component on top of the back wall assembly
in a bed of Earthcore Mortar. The Fire-Lite back wall assembly
should sit flush with the backside of the Firebox. (Figure 19)
Step 7: Set the cast iron throat damper on top of the damper
lifter blocks so that the damper’s operating plate is up and faces
the back of the firebox. (Figure 20)
Step 8: Set the front bottom smoke dome component across the
firebox opening so that the smoke dome piece spans the firebox
opening and is flush with the front of the firebox.
Step 9: Position the smoke dome’s sloping sidewalls at each
end of the bottom smoke dome components (Figure 21). The
sloping sidewalls fit in between the front and rear smoke dome
components and also fit into the haunches at the ends of the
front and rear smoke dome components.
