learn the burn characteristic of you appliance and
burn well-seasoned wood. Higher burn rates are
not always the best heating burn rates; after a good
fire is established a lower burn rate may be a better
option for efficient heating. A lower burn rate slows
the flow of usable heat out of the home through
the chimney, and it also consumes less wood.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE
PAINT
BECAUSE
OF
THE
HIGH
OPERATING
TEMPERATURES, THIS APPLIANCE IS COATED
WITH A SPECIAL HIGH TEMP PAINT WHICH
REQUIRES A SERIES OF LOW TO MEDIUM BURNS
TO FULLY CURE FOR DURABILITY AND A LIFETIME
OF SERVICE.
Proper curing of the high-temp paint requires a
series of three initial burns. The appliance should be
allowed to cool off between each burn. The first two
burns should be small fires and low temperatures
(250°F) for a 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”
