WARNING:
ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES
THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER.
LIGHTING WITH A HANDHELD PROPANE
TORCH
You will need a handheld propane torch to ignite your
stove. We recommend a high quality torch with a squeeze
trigger ignition system.
1. Make sure the pellet feed door is in the closed
position, this is the external knob located on the front
of the hopper. All the way down indicates closed.
2. Remove hopper lid and add desired amount of pellets.
3. Make sure front damper slide is in the closed position,
holes should be blocked.
4. Inspect primary burn chamber, secondary burn plate
and ashtray for soot build up and cleanliness. Perform
any maintenance required.
5. Reinstall primary burn chamber, secondary burn
plate and ashtray.
6. Remove the primary chamber end slide (the top
handle).
7. Light the torch and insert into primary burn chamber.
Let the torch run for approximately one minute. This
will start the necessary draft and speed the ignition
process.
8. Slide the feed to the all the way open position (the
knob should now be at the top of the slot).
9. Let the torch run till the stove reaches 200 degrees
(this should only take approximately 5 minutes
depending on the type of fuel).
10. Remove, turn off and store your torch.
11. Keep the primary slide cover off until the stove
reaches approximately 400°F.
WARNING:
AFTER STARTING THE STOVE THE PRIMARY END
SLIDE MUST BE ON TO ENSURE PROPER AIR FLOW
THROUGH THE SECONDARY BURN CHAMBER AND
PROPER USE OF OUTSIDE AIR.

insert heat gun.
3. Let heat gun run for 30 seconds.
4. Open the pellet feed door.
5. Ignition of the pellets will take approximately one
minute. You will hear a “whoosh” when the pellets
ignite.
