Section 2 - Operating Instructions

Radiant heat from glowing ember bed dries

and cleans air channels, and

also will ignite new wood load

Before reloading, use the

cleaning rod to loosen the ash and coals

as directed in the Owner’s Manual

It is best to burn the wood

load down to a glowing coal

bed as often as possible

to dry the firebox,

air channels and ashes.

These illustrations provide a summary of how to properly load and reload your downdraft outdoor furnace. Be sure to read the Owner’s Manual for other important safety 

and operational information. Over time, you will become familiar with your particular conditions, and you will learn how best to load the wood so it burns down to a 

glowing coal bed as often as possible before reloading.  ©2015 Central Boiler  •  1-MAY-2015

Low humidity

A dry firebox lasts

longer, requires less

maintenance and

operates with more

efficiency than a

wet firebox.

A firebox with high humidity requires more maintenance, operates with less efficiency and will shorten the life of the furnace.

Loading more wood than is needed between

fills increases condensation – the firebox

and air channels will not dry

NO DRYING

Very little radiant heat

to dry air channels

High humidity

Reloading at this level can restrict airflow and

create excessive coals or too deep of a coal bed,

while making it impossible to run the cleaning

rod through to loosen the ash and coals

Repeating this type of reloading pattern, along with

not following other procedures described in the

Owner’s Manual and instructional videos,

will diminish the efficiency, performance and life

of the furnace

Adding more wood than is needed between loads increases condensation and reduces efficiency.

Coal bed is too deep

to allow enough air

to keep the bottom of

bed glowing, which

is needed for

proper operation.

Coal bed will continue to

deepen and

operating efficiency

will continue to diminish

Here, wood is added before

remaining wood is allowed

to burn down.

DRYING

Radiant heat dries

and cleans air channels

High humidity

Load enough wood to maintain the fire until next reloading,

preferably about 12 hours

1

High humidity

OR

Operating for a 12-Hour Burn

Run the rod through

the coal bed in a

number of places once

every 8-12 hours to

avoid bridging and

to help optimize

combustion.

Wood between 4" and 8" (10-20 cm)

across and approximately

60-70% of the length of the

firebox works well in most cases.
