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.
To regulate the speed of the optional convection
blower, adjust the variable speed control from low
to high by turning the knob located on the blower.
The blower speed should be matched to the air
control lever setting. When the air setting is low,
the blower should always be at the minimum set-
ting. At high settings, above the first notch on the
air control, the blower may be set to your desired
control level. Be sure the blower cord does not run
under, over, or in front of the stove.
The air control lever is located directly below the
ash lip of the stove. Using this lever will enable
you to vary the amount of air delivered to the fire,
creating a range of heat outputs. The low heat
output setting is to the left, and high is to the far
right. Do not, under any circumstances, alter the
configuration or operation of the air control lever.
For low burn, slide the air control to the leftmost
notch. For medium burns, use notches 2 or 3.
Maximum heat is attained with the air control all
the way to the right. do not burn the stove con-
tinuously 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 and
damage will occur to the stove.
If your wood is not seasoned long enough or
is high in moisture, you may have to adjust the
primary air 1 or 2 notches higher to sustain a low
burn rate with the cleanest possible exhaust.
building and Maintaining the Fire
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.
