2. High mass and thermal insulation:
The high mass (weight) acts as a heat storage and
the thermal insulation keeps the combustion zone
hot. Active fl aming takes place during the fi rst part
of the burn. During this stage, heat is stored in the
mass of the unit and is later released slowly and
evenly. As wood chars, active fl aming will dimin-
ish. This clean charcoal burning stage will last for
a considerable length of time and refuelling should
be avoided until the charcoal base has become
quite small.
OPERATING TIPS
1. Always use dry, sea-
soned fi rewood, up to 18"
long.
2. Operate on a medium to
high setting, for up to 1 hour
from cold start. After the ini-
tial warm up period, refuel
and leave the air control
on a medium setting for
5 to 10 minutes more and
then set the air control to
the desired position.
3. If a slow burn is desired,
set the air control to low.
Active secondary burning
should be present above
the wood load. If it is not
present or goes out shortly after, proper operating
temperature has not been reached and the stove
needs additional warm up time.
Understanding & Operating Your Pacifi c Energy Stove
The Pacifi c Energy SUPER SERIES line of wood-
stoves is a culmination of years of research and de-
velopment. Designed to be efficient, clean-burning
and user-friendly, this heater will give you years of
warm service. However, a knowledgeable opera-
tor is still the most important factor for maximum
performance and part of this is understanding the
basic functions of this design.
Traditional wood stoves had a basic combustion
system which allowed a
considerable amount of heat
energy to escape up the
chimney as unburned gases
and particulates (smoke).
Pacifi c Energy has designed
a system that solves the
problem by burning the
smoke and releasing the
additional heat to the room.
This system has two critical
design features:
1. Above fi re secondary air
injection:
The hollow "air baffle" injects
super-heated secondary air
just above the load. With the
stove at the proper operating
temperature, this will create
a secondary fl ame that will
be evident for approximately
1/3 of the total burn time.
