air control
The air control lever is located directly below the ash lip of
the stove. Sliding this lever allows you to vary the amount of
air to the fire, creating a range of heat outputs. The lowest
heat output setting is to the left, and the highest is to the right.
The notches are provided as a reference for your comfortable
heat settings. Do not, under any circumstances, alter the
configuration or operation of the air control lever.
For low burn, slide the air control to the left. For medium
burns, use notches 4,5 & 6. Maximum heat is attained with
the air control all the way to the right. Do not burn the stove
continuously at the maximum setting. If maximum heat is
required day after day, the stove is too small for the area
you are trying to heat.
If your wood is not seasoned long enough or is high in
moisture content, you may need to adjust the primary air 1 or
2 notches higher to sustain a low burn rate with the cleanest
possible exhaust.
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away
from the heater while it is in use.

building a Fire
Begin with the bypass damper open, and the air control lever
at the maximum setting, all the way to the right. Be sure the
ash pan door is closed and latched.
Start with a bed of crumpled paper and kindling sized about
finger width; place several 1" - 2" (25mm - 50mm) split pieces
of dry wood on top of the kindling, followed by a few 2" - 3"
(50 mm - 80 mm) split pieces. Lay the wood in a crossed
pattern to allow maximum air flow. Ignite the paper and close
the loading door(s). Allow this start-up fire to burn for a few
minutes, keeping the bypass damper open. Add about five
more pieces of wood in the 2 to 3 inch (50 - 80mm) size
range, making sure that the fuel bed is all the way across
the firebox and staggered to allow airflow. Close the door
and allow this loading to burn a few minutes.
Add increasingly larger pieces of wood to the fire until you
have a thick bed of hot embers, approximately 2 to 3 inches
deep at the back of the grate and at least an inch deep at
the front. You must have this charcoal bed established
before you close the bypass damper.
Providing you have the charcoal bed described above,
close the bypass damper by pulling the handle toward the
front of the stove. This will begin the highly efficient mode
of operation where the exhaust gases get re-burned in the
secondary combustion package. If you cannot achieve a
charcoal bed within the first 15 to 20 minutes, your wood
is likely too wet, and you may need to burn the fire longer
and/or hotter to compensate for the extra energy needed to
drive out the moisture.
If, after five minutes of burning with the damper closed,
smoke is visible coming from the chimney, you probably
do not have the proper coal bed. Open the bypass damper
and continue with the process until a significant coal bed
is formed.
Always remember to open the bypass damper when you are
loading, this allows the exhaust gases to pass directly into
the flue outlet and reduces the chance of smoke spillage
into the room.
