Understanding & Operating Your Pacific Energy Stove
The Pacific Energy line of wood stoves is a culmina-
tion of years of research and development. Designed
to be efficient, clean-burning and user-friendly, this
heater will give you years of warm service. However,
a knowledgeable operator is still the most important
factor for maximum performance and part of this is
understanding the basic functions of this design.
Traditional wood stoves had a basic combustion
system which allowed a considerable amount of heat
energy to escape up the chimney as unburned gas-
es and particulates
(smoke). Pacific En-
ergy has designed
a system that solves
the problem by burn-
ing the smoke and
releasing the ad-
ditional heat to the
room.
This system has two
critical design fea-
tures:
1. Above fire second-
ary air injection:
The hollow "air baf-
fle" injects super-
heated secondary
air just above the
load. With the stove
at the proper operat-
ing temperature, this
will create a second-
ary flame that will
be evident for approximately 1/3 of the total burn
time.
2. High mass and thermal insulation:
The high mass (weight) acts as a heat storage and the
thermal insulation keeps the combustion zone hot.
Active flaming takes place during the first part of the
burn. During this storage, heat is stored in the mass
of the unit and is later released slowly and evenly. As
wood chars, active flaming will diminish. This clean
charcoal burning stage will last for a considerable
length of time and refuelling should be avoided until
the charcoal base has become quite small.
OPERATING TIPS
1. Always use dry, seasoned firewood, up to 18" long.
Load wood endwise, a mixture of large and small
pieces, on top of a
good ash base (1"
minimum).
2. Operate on a
medium to high set-
ting, for up to 1 hour
from cold start. After
the initial warm up
period, refuel and
leave the air control
on a medium setting
for 5 to 10 minutes
more and then set
the air control to the
desired position.
3. If a slow burn
is desired, set the
air control to low.
Active secondary
burning should be
present above the
wood load. If it is not
present or goes out
shortly after, proper
operating temperature has not been reached and
the stove needs additional warm up time.
For additional operating, safety and maintenance
