FUELING INSTRUCTIONS
This wood stove has been certified by the US EPA to
meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit produces
the optimal minimum emissions it is critical that only
well-seasoned cordwood is burned (see the “Fuel
Recommendations” section of this manual). Burning
unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efficiency
and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in your chimney.
Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE WITH
DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 3 to 4 pieces of newspaper into
the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 3 lbs of kindling in
random placement to ensure airflow through the kindling.
On top of the kindling, place approximately 4 lbs of small
pieces of cordwood. NOTE: Use smaller pieces of wood
during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove
temperature.
4 lb
Pull the air control out fully. Light the newspaper and leave
the door slightly open for 2 minutes. Close the door and
allow the kindling to ignite. Once the kindling has burned
down to a starter coal bed, load the unit with approximately
17 lbs of fuel for the first high burn load. After the first high
burn load and the stove is well warmed up, adjust the unit
as needed for a medium or low burn setting.
17 lbs
LOW
For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is burned
down to an established coal bed, load the unit with 18 lbs
of cordwood and keep the door slightly open for 3 minutes.
Leave the air control fully open (in the “HI” position) for 13
minutes. After 15 minutes push in the air control to the
medium position (midway between the “Low” and “Hi”
position). For a low burn setting once the high burn (or
medium) fuel load is burned down to an established coal
bed, load the unit with 19 lbs of cordwood and close the
door immediately. Leave the air control fully open (in the
“HI” position) for 13 minutes. After 15 minutes begin to
push the air control in to the “Low” position (air control
fully pushed in). NOTE: Do not close the air too quickly.
Closing the air too quickly will cause the unit to smoke.

WARNINGS:
• NEVER OVERFIRE YOUR STOVE. IF ANY PART OF
THE STOVE STARTS TO GLOW RED, OVER FIRING IS
HAPPENING. READJUST THE AIR INTAKE CONTROL
AT A LOWER SETTING.
• THE INSTALLATION OF A LOG CRADLE OR GRATES
IS NOT RECOMMENDED IN YOUR WOOD STOVE.
BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON FIREBRICK.
• NEVER PUT WOOD ABOVE THE FIREBRICK LINING
OF THE FIREBOX.
• ATTEMPTS TO ACHIEVE HEAT OUTPUT RATES
THAT EXCEED HEATER DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
CAN RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATER.
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be
an effective method of determining how efficiently the
combustion process is taking place in the given settings.
Visible smoke consists of unburned fuel and moisture
leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your
specific unit to produce the smallest amount of visible
smoke. Wood that has not been seasoned properly and
has a high wood moisture content will produce excess
visible smoke and burn poorly.
AIR TUBES
The air tubes assembled in this unit are designed to
provide an accurate mix of secondary air to ensure the
highest efficiency. Any damage or deterioration of these
tubes may reduce the efficiency of combustion. The air
tubes are held in position by screws or snap pins. Locate
these to either side of the tube and remove it to allow the
tube to be removed and replaced.
