Restarting After Extended or Overnight
Burns
1) Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of the
heater. Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of embers,
close door.
2) Adjust air control to “High” position(all the way to the left)
and in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.
3) After wood has charred, reset air control to desired setting.
4) When burning at a slow rate for extended periods,
occasionally maintain a strong fi re under supervision for a
couple of hours to remove fi rebox and chimney of deposits
as well as any of the deposits on the glass.
WARNING: This method is not a substitute for regular
chimney inspections and cleaning.
5) To achieve maximum fi ring rate, set control to “High”
position(all the way to the left). Do not use this setting
other than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER: Attempts to achieve
heat output rates that exceed heater design specifi cations
can result in permanent damage to the heater and chimney.
WARNING: No alteration or modifi cation of the combus-
tion air control assembly is permitted. Any tampering will
void warranty and could be very hazardous.
Over Firing
Over fi ring can be caused by operating the unit with the door
open, damage to door gaskets allowing excess air to enter
the fi rebox, the use of kiln dried lumber, mill ends or paper
waste and prolonged or continual use on a high burn setting.
Heat Output Calculation
Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU’s per pound.
The calculation is as follows:
Experience will give you the right settings for proper
combustion and efficient burning. Remember the correct air
inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of wood,
outside temperature, chimney size and weather conditions.
With practice, you will become profi cient in operating your
heater and will obtain the performance for which it was
designed.
Proper Draft
1) Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up
through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney
depends on the length of the chimney, local geography,
nearby obstructions and other factors.
2) Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the
appliance. An uncontrollable burn or a glowing red stove
part or chimney indicates excessive draft.
3) Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room and
plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the room
through appliance and chimney connector joints indicates
inadequate draft.
Ash Removal
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your fi rebox, and
when fi re has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes.
Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the fi rebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fi t-
ting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on
a non-combustible fl oor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending fi nal disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed,
they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should not be placed
in this container!
