THE FIRST FIRES
Th
e fresh paint on your stove needs to be cured to preserve its quality. Once the fuel charge is properly ignited, only burn small fi res
in your stove for the fi rst four hours of operation. Never open the air control more than necessary to achieve a medium burn rate.
Make sure that there’s enough air circulation while curing the stove. Th
e odors could be smelled during the 3 or 4 fi rst fi res. Never
start your stove outside. You will not be able to see if you are over heating.
IGNITION
Aft er making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (completely pull-out towards you), place several rumpled sheets of
paper in the centre of the combustion chamber. Place 8 to 10 pieces of small dry kindling wood over the paper in the form of a tent.
You may also place a few pieces of heating wood, but choose the smaller ones. No chemical product should be used to light the fi re.
Before igniting the paper and kindling wood, it is recommended that you warm up the chimney. Th
is is done in order to avoid back
draft problems oft en due to negative pressure in the house. If such is the case, open a window slightly near the stove and twist together
a few sheets of newspaper into a torch. Light up this paper torch and hold it as close as possible to the mouth of the pipe inside the
combustion chamber to warm up the chimney. Once the updraft movement is initiated, you are ready to ignite the stove by lighting
the paper and kindling wood inside the combustion chamber.
When you have achieved a good bed of hot embers, we recommend the following burn procedures:
HEATING
Controlled combustion is the most effi
cient technique for wood heating because it enables you to select the type of combustion you
want for each given situation. Th
e wood will burn slowly if the wood stove air intake control is adjusted to reduce the oxygen supply
in the combustion chamber to a minimum. On the other hand, wood will burn quickly if the air control is adjusted to admit a larger
quantity of oxygen in the combustion chamber. Th
e air intake control on your stove is very simple. If you pull on it out completely
towards you, it is fully open. If you push on it until it stops the combustion air is reduced to a minimum. Real operating conditions
may give very diff erent results than those obtained during testing according to the species of wood used, its moisture content, the
size and density of the pieces, the length of the chimney, altitude and outside temperature.
