U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015. Under
specific test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 11,805 to 27,252 Btu/hr.
Note: The BTU ratings mentioned above are based on the EPA test protocol burning dimensional Douglas Fir lumber.
Our advertised BTU’s are based on the first hour of operation at high burn rate burning cordwood.

your local building code rulings.
2. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IN A MOBILE
HOME, MANUFACTURED HOME, TRAILER OR TENT
(NO EXCEPTIONS PER HUD FEDERAL STANDARD: 24

3. Verify that the appliance is properly installed
before firing for the first time. This appliance should
be installed by a qualified installer to insure a
correct and safe installation. NEVER use temporary
or makeshift compromises during the installation.
4. If there are any missing or damaged components of
the appliance, contact your dealer immediately.

6.
Do Not connect this appliance to any air
distribution duct or system.
7. Do not tamper with the combustion air control of
this unit beyond normal adjustment range.
8. Provide adequate combustion air to the room
where the appliance is installed. Restricting
combustion air will result in a lazy fire which causes
soot or creosote buildup and greatly reduces
efficiency.
9. Always connect this appliance to a chimney
that vents to the outside. Never vent into another
room, crawl space, attic, or inside a building. Do
not connect this unit to a chimney flue serving
another appliance.
10. DO NOT connect a wood burning appliance
to an aluminum Type B gas vent. This is not safe.
Use approved masonry or a UL 103 HT (U.S.) Listed
Residential Type and Building Heating Appliance
Chimney. Use a 6” diameter chimney, that is high
enough to create sufficient draft.
11. Be sure your chimney is safely constructed and
in good repair. Have the chimney inspected by
the fire department or a qualified inspector. Your
insurance company should be able to recommend
a qualified inspector.
12. Creosote or soot may build up in the chimney
liner or chimney and cause a house/building fire.
Inspect the chimney and chimney liner twice
monthly during the heating season and clean if
necessary.
13.
In the event of a chimney fire, turn the air controls
to the closed position, leave the building and call
the fire department immediately!
14. To prevent injury, do not allow anyone to use
this appliance that is not familiar with its correct
operation. Do not operate this appliance while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
15. Caution: Hot Surfaces. Keep Children Away. Do
not touch while in operation. Contact may cause
skin burns.
16.
Children should be alerted to the hazards from high
surface temperatures. Never leave small children
unsupervised when they are in the same room
as the appliance during operation. To prevent
burns, always wear protective clothing, leather
hearth gloves, and eye protection when refueling
or fire maintenance. Always be aware of heated
surfaces. Heat radiating from the appliance
can potentially discolor, melt, or even ignite
combustible materials. KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER!
17. WARNING: RISK OF FIRE. Keep the feed door tightly
closed at all times except when tending the fire.
18.
DO NOT overfire this appliance. Overfiring will occur
if the feed door is left open during operation. If any
part of the appliance glows, you are overfiring.
Adjust air controls to a lower setting to slow down
the fire.
19.
DO NOT Elevate the fire! Build the fire directly on
the firebrick. This appliance has not been tested
with the use of any means to elevate the fire and
it should not be attempted.
20. Ashes should not be allowed to accumulate more
than two to three inches in the firebox.
21. The paint on your appliance is durable but will not
stand rough handling or abuse. The paint used
may give off smoke and/or an odor during the first
few fires. This will occur until the paint has cured.
Animals / people with lung problems should not be
present during the curing process. Build small fires
at first to help this process and open windows and
doors as needed to clear the smoke and odor. If
the appliance is overfired, the paint will discolor.
When installing your unit, take care in handling.
Clean with soap and water when the appliance is
not in use. Do not use any acids, abrasive cleaners
or scouring soap as these solvents wear and dull
the finish.
