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.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
1.
Put the pellet feed door is in the closed position, this is the external knob located on the
front of the hopper. Knob in the down position 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.
Re-install 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 knob all the way up to the open position (the knob should now be at the
top of the slot).
9.
Let the torch run until the stove reaches 200 degrees (this should only take 1-2
minutes).
10.
Remove torch, turn off and store your torch.
11.
Keep the primary slide cover off until the stove reaches 400 degrees.
