Burn only dry, clean unpainted wood that has been seasoned. It
produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Freshly cut wood
contains about 50% moisture while after proper seasoning only
about 20% of the water remains. As wood is burned, this water
boils off consuming energy that should be used in heating. The
wetter the wood, the less heat is given off and the more creosote
is produced.
Both hardwood and softwood burn equally well in this stove but
hardwood is denser, will weigh more per cord and burn a little
slower and longer. Firewood should be split, stacked in a manner
that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to be
ready for burning that fall. Dry fi rewood has cracks in the end
grain. Cut the wood so that it will fi t horizontally, front to back,
making for easier loading and less of a likelihood that the wood
will roll onto the glass. Ideal lengths of wood are approximately
12” for EPA 1100, 1100C, 1100L, 1150 and 1101, 16 1/2” for
EPA 1400, 1400L and
1402
,
1450
and 21” for EPA 1900.

MAINTENANCE
DON’TS
1.
Take ash out immediately. Let it accumu-
late to a depth of at least one inch. A good
ash layer provides for a longer lasting and
better burning fi re.
2.
Burn wet wood.
3.
Close the door too soon or damper down
too quickly.
4.
Burn one large log rather than two or three
smaller, more reasonably sized logs.
5.
Burn at continually “low setting”, if glass
door is constantly blackened. This means
the fi rebox temperature is too low.
DO’S
1.
Build a hot fi re
2.
Use only dry wood.
3.
Several pieces of medium sized wood
are better than a few big pieces.
4.
Clean chimney regularly.
5.
Refuel frequently using medium sized
wood.
6.
“Fine Tune” the air settings for optimum
performance.
