DO NOT STORE FUEL CLOSER THAN SPECIFIED CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES OR
WITHIN THE SPACE NEEDED FOR LOADING THE STOVE AND FOR ASH REMOVAL.
Additional Safety Guidelines
•
The installation of smoke detectors is highly recommended when installing this or any other solid
fuel burning appliance. Smoke detectors should be located near or in every room of the home,
particularly sleeping rooms.
•
A smoke detector can be installed in the same room as this cordwood burning unit; installing the
smoke detector too close to the unit can lead to nuisance alarms due to slight wisps of smoke emitted
during the fire starting or reloading process. Due to this, the smoke detector in the
same room as the unit will be most useful if it is located as far from the unit as the room will
permit.
•
This stove is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally
result when burning air dried, seasoned hardwoods, as compared to soft woods or to green or
freshly‐cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN garbage, lawn clippings or yard waste, materials containing
rubber, including tires; Materials containing plastic: Waster petroleum products, paints or paint
thinners, or asphalt products; Materials containing asbestos; Construction or demolition debris;
Railroad ties or pressure‐treated wood; Manure or animal remains; Salt water driftwood or
previously salt water saturated materials; Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not prohibit the use of fire starters made
from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting a fire in
an affected wood heater. Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render
the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
•
Burning fuels other than cordwood, particularly coal and charcoal, can result in hazardous
concentrations of carbon monoxide being emitted into the dwelling. For these reasons, NEVER
burn coal or charcoal in this cordwood stove. Installing a carbon monoxide detector and being
aware of the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide
related issues.
•
This unit was designed for operation only with the loading door closed and tightly latched.
Operating this unit with the loading door latched loosely or open will allow excessive combustion air
to reach the fire and will result in dangerously high unit temperatures. High unit temperatures can
damage the unit, void the warranty or ignite creosote deposited in the chimney system by previous,
slow burning fires.
•
The natural draft that pulls air through this unit and allows the fire to burn uses the indoor air of the
dwelling for combustion, unless the unit is connected to an outside combustion air source. Kitchen
range vent hoods, furnaces and other air movement appliances in the home are often also removing
air from the dwelling; if the amount of air filtration or leakage back into the home is exceeded by the
air being removed, negative pressure may be created in the home.
•
Since this is a natural draft appliance, it will often be the first appliance to have problems related to
negative pressure. If smoke is forced out the chimney connector joints or out of the air induction
system of the unit, the unit is likely fighting negative pressure in the dwelling.
Cracking a window or door near the appliance can help equalize the negative pressure;
ultimately, an unrestricted source of outside combustion may be necessary for proper unit
function.
