WOODMASTER OUTDOOR FURNACES • OWNER'S MANUAL
1. With your Ash Hoe, pull the hot coals from the back of the furnace to
the front.
2. Load the back of the furnace first, stacking the wood as shown in the
previous section. Then fill the front of the furnace.
3. When needed, scrape the bottom of the firebox to remove any deposits
or ash buildup.
By loading the furnace as explained, the flame will be towards the front of
the furnace and work its way back. This will cause your wood to burn more
thoroughly.
M-2. Ash Removal and Disposal (Weekly or As Needed)
CAUTION
Always wear the appropriate personal protective gear when cleaning ashes from
the firebox.
Remove the ashes when the furnace is very low on wood. If your
WoodMaster furnace is not equipped with an Ash Auger System, use a
shovel to take the ashes from the front of the firebox and use a rake to pull
the ashes from the rear of the furnace to create a level bed of hot coals.
The ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or
on the ground and well away from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. Ashes should be retained in the closed container until all of the
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
CAUTION
Hot coals can last for days; disposing of them improperly or too soon can cause
a fire.
When cleaning the outdoor furnace, be careful not to spill any hot ash outside of
the noncombustible container .
M-3. Baffle Bypass Ash Removal (Weekly or As Needed)
To ensure that your Baffle Bypass remains clear of any excessive build-up,
you will need to clean it out. To effectively clean out the Baffle Bypass you
must:
1. Pull the rod back until it hits the stop.
2. Twist the rod clockwise and pull back in order to pass over the stop.
