BUILDING A FIRE
1.
Open the air inlet control fully ( NOTE : The control is located under the ash drawer.
Pulling out on the control opens it).
2.
Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the stove.
3.
Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling in a “teepee” shape, and a few
small pieces of wood.
4.
Ignite this fuel and close the door most of the way (leave it open slightly).
5.
Add larger pieces of wood as the fire progresses, being careful not to overload. Do not
fill the firebox beyond the firebrick area. A coal bed of (ideally) 1” to 2” (25.4 to 50.8
mm) should be established to achieve optimum performance.
6.
This unit is designed to function most effectively when air is allowed to circulate to all
areas of the firebox. A good way of achieving this is to rake a small (1” to 2” or 25.4 to
50.8 mm wide) “trough” in the center of the coal bed, from front to back, prior to
loading the fuel.
7.
Once fuel has been loaded, close the door and fully open the air inlet control, until the
fire is well established (approximately 20 minutes), being careful not to over-fire.
8.
Readjust the air inlet control to the desired burn rate. If excessive smoke fills the
firebox, open the air inlet control slightly, until flames resume and the wood is
sufficiently ignited. Basically, Closed = “Low;” ½ Way Open = “Medium;” and Fully
Open = “High.”
9.
When refueling, adjust the air control to the fully open position. When the fire
brightens, open the door VERY slowly and carefully. This will prevent gases from
igniting and causing smoke and flame spillage.
10.
At this point you may add fuel, being careful not to overload.
Establish a routine for the storage of fuel, care of the appliance, and firing
techniques. Check daily for creosote build up until experience shows how
often cleaning is necessary. Be aware that the hotter the fire, the less
creosote is deposited, and that weekly cleaning may be needed in mild
weather, even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months.
A small intense fire is preferable to a large smoldering fire to reduce the
amount of creosote deposition. Have a clearly understood plan to handle a
chimney fire.
