COMBUSTION AIR CONTROL
- OPTIMUM SETTING LOADING OR RELOADING
1. Temperature adjustments. Adjustments to achieve the desired room temperature should be made
in small increments for the most effective clean-burning operation. After a few days you will know
where to set your thermostat to deliver just the heat you require. Small hot fires produce less creosote
than large smoldering fires.
After loading & reloading leave the air control in the fully open position (the warmest setting) for 15
minutes, (or until the fire is well established) before making further adjustments. Turning down the
thermostat too soon may cause creosote formation in the chimney. Once the fire is well established,
adjustments may be made for a low, medium or high fire, depending on heat needs of the home.
For a low fire, (9,000 to 15,000 btu/hour) getting the fire well established is particularly critical. If the
wood being used is not well seasoned, it may be necessary to leave the air control setting in the fully
open position for much longer than 15 minutes to assure a clean, low burn. When the fire is burning
well on high, reset the air control in steps to medium, then lower, over a 5-10 minute period. Watch
the flames in the top of firebox. Try to keep a good flame pattern just under the secondary air diffuser
at all times. When there is no flame pattern in the top of the firebox, the stove is less efficient
(produces less heat from a load of wood) and burns less clean (makes and deposits more creosote in
the chimney system). When starting a low fire, do not turn the fans on for the first 30 minutes.
For a medium burn (16,000 to 22,000 btu/hour) leave the air control set at high for 15 minutes, or until
the fire is well established. Then move the air control to the medium setting. Watch for a flame
pattern in the top of the stove. When that flame is out the stove is less efficient and burns dirtier.
When starting a medium fire, turn the fans on low to medium, depending on the heat needs of the
home.
For a high fire (23,000 to 45,000 btu/hour) the air control setting may be left on high at all times. The
fans may be turned on medium to high at any time during the burn cycle.
2 Tampering. The internal mechanism of the combustion air thermostat system is adjusted at the
factory and
MUST NEVER be tampered with.
RELOADING THE FIREBOX
1) Maintaining an efficient fire.
A bed of hot coals is the most important requirement for keeping an efficient fire. A bed of hot coals
will help the stove maintain a more even temperature as well as getting the new load of wood started
easily. Let each full load burn down to a coal bed before reloading. The combustion air control set at
the lowest air control setting, permits a low fire even with the firebox full but maintaining a clean
burning low fire is easier with a partial load of wood. For medium and high burn rates, a full load of
wood may be used. Four 6" diameter logs may burn up to 8 hours. This will vary considerably for
many reasons, including type of wood, how well the wood is "seasoned", the air control setting, the
position of the stove in the house, and how well the house is insulated.
2) Set the combustion air control knob to the warmest setting for a few seconds before opening the
loading door.
