height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture
content. Some experimentation will initially be required
to
ſnd that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best.
The following will give you a starting point to
ſPF your
optimum settings.
When
ſrst loading fuel set the primary air inlet con-
trol (center) at the wide open (Pull out) position for at
least 15–20 minutes (the high burn duct control should
be closed – pulled out – when starting
ſTGU. When the
stove is working properly you should be able to observe
secondary combustion
ƀCOGU above the fuel pieces in
front of the secondary air tubes at the top of the
ſrebox.
These secondary
ƀCOGU should continue to burn after
the primary air inlet is reset from wide open to the de-
sired operating setting. If the
ƀCOGU do not continue to
burn, open the air control to re-establish the secondary
ƀCOGU then slowly reset the air control to the desired
setting. Initially it may take several attempts to
ſIWTG
your stove out. But once you
ſPF the operating “sweet
spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get there,
only minor adjustments will be necessary.
The best indicator of a properly operating stove is
to look for smoke coming out of the chimney. You may
see steam emissions that will quickly dissipate. Smoke
will thin but continue to drift without totally disappearing.
If you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control
a little bit, let the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and
re-check your chimney. Remember – visible smoke
represents lost heat.
NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH OPERATING
TEMPERATURES, THIS STOVE USES
A SPECIAL HIGH-TEMP PAINT WHICH
REQUIRES A SERIES OF BURNS TO
CURE THE PAINT FOR DURABILITY AND
A LIFETIME OF SERVICE.
P r o p e r c u r i n g o f t h e h i g h - t e m p p a i n t
requires a series of three initial burns. The stove
should be allowed to cool off between each burn.
The first two burns should be small fires and low
temperatures (250°F/120°C) for a duration of
20 minutes each. The third fire should be at a
medium-high temperature (500 to 700°F/260 to 370°C)
for twenty minutes. Provide adequate cross ventilation
to clear any smoke or odor caused b
[KPKVKCNſrings.
STARTING A FIRE
1.
Set Primary Air Inlet Control Lever (round ball
control located under the center of the ash lip)
to thefully open position(pull control out towards
you).
NOTE: OPEN/HIGH=OUT; CLOSED/LOW=IN.
2.
Open the feed door and place several wads of
cr
WUJGFRCRGTKPVJGſTGDox.
3.
Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling
in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.
4.
Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly.
DO NOT LEAVE STOVE UNATTENDED WITH
DOOR OPEN! Except while tending the
ſre,
operating the stove with the feed door open or
ash clean out cover removed may cause over
ſTKPI resulting in unsafe operating conditions.
5.
Add large pieces of wood as the
ſTG progresses
being careful not to overload. (Do not
ſNN ſTGDox
beyond
ſTGDrick area.) An ideal coal bed of Ŋ – Ŋ
(25mm - 50mm) 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
ſTGDox. TIP: If ash or coals remain in the stove,
continued on next page
make sure to clear them away from the Lower
Primary Air Or
KſEG (LPAO) and rake a slight Ŋ –
ŊOOOO wide) trough down the center of
the coal bed from front to back prior to loading the
fuel.
