OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
BUILdING A FIRE
1. Open inlet air control fully.
2. Place a small amount of crumpled paper in the
stove.
3. Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling
wood in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of
wood.
4. Ignite the paper and close door. If fire dies down
substantially, open door slightly.
5. Add larger pieces of wood as the fire progresses being
careful not to overload. Do not fill firebox beyond
firebrick area. An ideal coal bed of 1" (25 mm) to 2"
(51 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. An
ideal means of achieving this is to rake a slight (1" to
2" 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 door and open air
inlet control fully until fire is well established (approx.
10 minutes) being careful not to over fire.
8. Re-adjust air inlet control to desired burn rate. If
excessive smoke fills firebox, open air inlet control
slightly until flames resume and wood is sufficiently
ignited. A basic rule of thumb is “closed – low,” “half
way-medium,” and “fully open – high.”

9. When refueling, adjust air control to the fully open
position. When fire brightens, slowly and carefully
open the door. This procedure will prevent gases from
igniting causing smoke and flame spillage.
10. Add fuel being careful not to overload.
