VSW30 Series Wood Stove

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.” 

Figure 13

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.
