OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
duration of 20 minutes each. The third fire should be at
a temperature of approximately 500°F for 20 minutes.
Provide adequate cross ventilation to clear any smoke or
odor caused by initial firings.
Notice: Use solid wood fuel only! Do not burn garbage,
or flammable fluids. Do not use coal. This appliance
is not designed to accommodate the air flow (draft)
required to properly burn coal or coal products. Do
not elevate the fire using grates or irons. Build the fire
directly on the firebrick.
FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
This wood stove has been certified by the US EPA
to meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit
produces the optimal minimum emissions it is critical
that only well-seasoned cordwood is burned (see the
“Fuel Recommendations” section of this manual).
Burning unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves
efficiency and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in
your chimney. Be considerate of the environment and
only burn dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE
WITH DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 3 to 4 pieces of newspaper into
the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 3 lbs of kindling
in random placement to ensure airflow through the
kindling. On top of the kindling, place approximately 4 lbs
of small pieces of cordwood. NOTE: Use smaller pieces of
wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the
stove temperature.
4 lb
Pull the air control out fully. Light the newspaper and
leave the door slightly open for 2 minutes. Close the
door and allow the kindling to ignite. Once the kindling
has burned down to a starter coal bed, load the unit
with approximately 17 lbs of fuel for the first high burn
load. After the first high burn load and the stove is well
warmed up, adjust the unit as needed for a medium or
low burn setting.
17 lbs
HIGH
For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is burned
down to an established coal bed, load the unit with 18 lbs
of cordwood and keep the door slightly open for 3 minutes.
Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI” position) for
13 minutes. After 15 minutes push in the air control to the
medium position (midway between the “Low” and “Hi”
position). For a low burn setting once the high burn (or
medium) fuel load is burned down to an established coal
bed, load the unit with 19 lbs of cordwood and close the
door immediately. Leave the air control fully open (in the
“HI” position) for 13 minutes. After 15 minutes begin to
push the air control in to the “Low” position (air control
fully pushed in). NOTE: Do not close the air too quickly.
Closing the air too quickly will cause the unit to smoke.
