Operation manual - Outback Chef Wood Burning Cookstove
ENGLISH
Combustible
This cooking stove is designed and approved for
wood
burning
only.
The use of any other type of
combustible will
void
your
warranty.
Hardwood cut 25 to 30 cm (12 to 15 inches) such as oak, maple and ash is recommended.
To obtain a perfect combustion, it is necessary to keep combustible in a dry and cool area.
Startup Without Embers
If the cooking stove is lit during a very cold day, it will be necessary to preheat the chimney.
Put an ignition cube or a small quantity of paper. Add small pieces of wood on the ignition cube.
Ignite the paper or the ignition cube and
open the air inlets and the bypass rod to the maximum
.
Close the combustion chamber’s door.
When the fire slows down, add bigger pieces of wood. Restart this operation until it reaches a maximum
loading interval of 60 minutes and a maximum load of 27 kg/ h (60 pounds/h). When the desired
temperature is reached, see the “combustion regime” section for the opening of the air inlets.
Startup With Embers
When loading without fire but only with good embers proceed this way:
With the poker, bring the embers to the center of the combustion chamber.
Completely open the primary and secondary air.
The bypass rod should be closed.
Wait for the necessary time until a regular fire starts. Load a few small pieces of wood and let the flame
take over.
Put the primary and secondary air as well as the bypass valve in the position for combustion regime,
as indicated in the section “combustion regime”.
