BURNING IN THE AIRTIGHT MODE
The Model #207 is “airtight” which allows exacting control of air to the
fire. Very little effort is required to maintain a dependable, even fire for as
long as ten hours on one load of wood. This exceptional performance is
due in part to the high degree of heat retention inherent in the cast iron. It
is also due to the scientifically designed heat baffle system incorporated in
the Model
#207.
The heat baffle system in the Model #207 causes the gases to flow in an
“S”  pattern, minimizing heat loss up the flue pipe and causing the wood
to burn from front to back. This controlled flow pattern mixes unburned
gases with preheated fresh air, aiding in a more complete combustion.
1.Open the firedoor and push the baffle nearest the firedoor to the center
of the stove so it is touching the other baffle. If a flue damper is installed,
make sure it is in the open position.
2.Make a small fire of kindling and paper in the firedoor end of the fire-
box.
3.When the kindling fire has begun to burn well, place the larger firewood
on top of the fire. Leave the firedoor partly open until the wood begins to
burn well. NOTE: Never leave the stove unattended while burning with
the firedoor open.
4.When the wood is burning well, close the door and adjust the draft, by
turning the draft wheel, to the required heating level. Please be aware that
heat output is dependent on a few variables, such as the type of wood
being burned, the type and length of your chimney, and environmental
conditions. After the fire is burning well, actual heat output may be greater
with the draft wheel turned down slightly, rather than with it wide open.
5.After the fire is reduced to coals, pull the coals to the firedoor end of the
firebox using the hoe provided with the stove. Place a new load of wood in
the firebox and allow it to light before completely closing the door.
NOTE: The stove handles and controls are frequently too hot to touch. A
stove handle tool is provided for your safety and convenience.
