2.5 Adding a New Load of Wood
When the wood has been reduced to embers, add a new load.
1.
Open the fireplace door and use your fireplace tools to gather the remaining embers at the center of the firebox.
2. Close the door and activate the Easy-Light. Wait 2-3 minutes for the embers to be activated.
3. Open the fireplace door slowly and add 2-3 logs. Space the bottom logs 1-2 inches apart to allow the flame to move
upwards.
4. Close the fireplace door.
Note: It is important to assure that a flame is maintained. If the flame is not maintained, reactivate the Easy-Light.
2.6 Smoking
Fireplace smoking can occur for a number of reasons: a negative pressure in your home, simultaneous use of other fans
(such as a kitchen exhaust fan), wood having a high moisture content, a chimney that is below 15 feet long, a dirty chimney.
Before starting a fire, if you feel a cold draft in the firebox (called a downdraft) you will likely experience smoking. Have
your chimney swept at least once a year and inspected at least twice a year.
If you experience a downdraft, follow the following procedure to light the fireplace:
1. Load the fireplace as described in section 2.4.
2. Activate the Easy-Light by pushing it inward.
3. Place 3 sheets of cramped newspaper on top of the wood.
4. Open a door or a window near the fireplace.
5. Open the fireplace door and ignite the firestarter. Ignite the newspaper in several locations. Keep the fireplace door
fully opened. A small amount of smoke will leak in to the house. The intense flame of the newspaper should
reverse the draft and a fire will start.
6. Close the fireplace door.
2.7 Built-in Barbecue
WARNING:
Always wear gloves to avoid burns and injuries.
To use the barbecue feature of the Galaxy, lower the barbecue grill and place the food on it. The door should remain closed
while cooking. When you are done barbecuing, raise the barbecue grill against the backside of the firebox. No cleaning is
required.
Useful Tips:

Plan ahead of time. You will need between 4 to
6 hours after your last load of wood to have
sufficient remaining coals to barbecue.

Cook with indirect heat. Move the coals away
from the middle of the hearth to the sides of the
firebox.

Keep the door closed.

Experiment with different heat intensity. Start
with a lower heat intensity to avoid burning
your food. The temperature inside the firebox is
much higher than what may be deemed.

In most cases, you will not have to flip the food that you are barbecuing.
The radiant heat from the stainless steel firebox generally cooks food
evenly on both sides.

Fish cooks very well on a cedar plank.

Chicken roasts very well using a chicken roast accessory (available at most local department stores).

To avoid flare-ups, close the primary air by pulling the Easy-Light handle towards you.
Smoking may occur when cooking greasier foods.
