Air Controls
Coal
The primary air control for coal burning is a knob located
on the bottom door. Sliding the knob to the left provides less
air for a smaller fire. Sliding the knob to the right provides
more air for a larger fire. When burning wood, this knob
should be all the way to the left, closed.
wood
The primary air controls for wood burning are located on
each side as shown above. Both controls should be adjusted
equally. Air from these controls also provides a curtain of air
across the glass to keep it clean. Move the controls down
for less heat and up for more heat. When burning coal these
controls should be in the down position.

building and maintaining a wood Fire
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
“freshen up” a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids
well away from the heater while it is in use
Crumple up six to eight sheets of news paper and place in
the firebox. Next place pieces of dry wood 3/4 inch maximum
diameter on top of the paper, Next place several 1"-2" split
pieces of dry wood on top, followed by a few 2"-3" split pieces.
Set the wood air controls at the maximum heat output setting,
all the way up. Place the knob on the bottom door to the left.
These settings will allow the glass to stay clean as you build
your fire. The coal knob may be moved to the right to speed
the ignition process but the glass may get dirty.
Ignite the paper and allow the fire to burn until a good
charcoal bed, 2"- 3" (50 mm - 80 mm) is formed; (You may
need to leave the ash door open a crack to get the blaze
going properly, but never leave the stove unattended with
a door open.) Add more wood to create a deeper charcoal
base 3" to 4".
Once the charcoal bed is established you may add a full
load of dry wood. After adding the fuel, leave air setting at
maximum for 5 to 15 minutes. Then, adjust the air controls
and blower speed for the desired heat output.

Coal must have air coming up through the coal bed in order
to burn. Some air over the top of the coal helps burn gases.
A small amount of air enters the top of the coal fire when the
wood controls are in the down position.
Wood burns with top or bottom air; however, top air coming
down across the glass to form an air curtain works best and
keeps the glass clean.
This is why it is recommended that the coal control be
positioned to the
left for wood burning.
CAUTION
!
The wood controls are hot. use the removable
shaker handle or gloves to adjust these controls
