Destination 2.3 Insert Installation and Operation Manual
Tie knot with five sheets of paper and place them on top of the kindling wood. Light up the paper and
let the door ajar at 90° until all the kindling wood is on fire and the first row of small pieces of wood
is on fire too. Close the door. When there is no more fire in the front of the firebox and there are only
faint flames on the wood in the back of the firebox, break ashes, level the coal bed and put five logs
in the firebox. Put 3 pieces on the coal bed, without air space between them. Leave one inch of air
space between the rear firebrick and the first piece. The two other pieces should be added on top of
the first 3, in an East-West configuration. Let the door ajar to leave a space of one inch on the door
handle’s side for 1 minute maximum and then close the door.
2.4.3 Medium and low burn rate
On a two inches thick coal bed that is still red, place three logs in an East-West orientation. There
should be air space between each log and between the logs and the bricks. The two other pieces
should be added on top of the first three, slightly angled of 20°. Let the door ajar at 90° for
approximately 5 min. Then, close the door with the primary air control open. Leave to burn with the
primary air control open for approximately 10 more minutes and then close the primary air control
completely for the low burn rate and halfway for the medium burn rate. For better results, close the
air control gradually from the closing of the door to the complete closing of the air control.
2.5 Zone Heating and How to Make it Work for You
Your new wood insert is a space heater, which means it is intended to heat the area it is installed in,
as well as spaces that connect to that area, although to a lower temperature. This is called zone
heating and it is an increasingly popular way to heat homes or spaces within homes.
Zone heating can be used to supplement another heating system by heating a particular space within
a home, such as a basement family room or an addition that lacks another heat source.
Houses of moderate size and relatively new construction can be heated with a properly sized and
located wood insert. Whole house zone heating works best when the insert is located in the part of
the house where the family spends most of its time. This is normally the main living area where the
kitchen, dining and living rooms are located. By locating the insert in this area, you will get the
maximum benefit of the heat it produces and will achieve the highest possible heating efficiency and
comfort. The space where you spend most of your time will be warmest, while bedrooms and
basement (if there is one) will stay cooler. In this way, you will burn less wood than with other forms
of heating.
Although the insert may be able to heat the main living areas of your house to an adequate
temperature, we strongly recommend that you also have a conventional oil, gas or electric heating
system to provide backup heating.
Your success with zone heating will depend on several factors, including the correct sizing and
location of the insert, the size, layout and age of your home and your climate zone. Three-season
vacation homes can usually be heated with smaller inserts than houses that are heated all winter.
2.6 The Benefits of Low Emissions and High Efficiency
The low smoke emissions produced by the special features inside the Destination 2.3 firebox mean
that your household will release up to 90 percent less smoke into the outside environment than if
you used an older conventional insert. But there is more to the emission control technologies than
protecting the environment.
