SECONDARY AIR allows the woodstove to burn clean. This preheated air enters the upper firebox just below
the baffle plate. This superheated air mixed with the wood gases and flames ignites, reaching temperatures in
this unit range. Without Secondary Air these volatile gases would exit the stove unburned as creosote, smoke,
particulates, and high levels of Carbon Monoxide, greatly decreasing efficiency. Heat comes from burning the
wood gases, not the wood, which itself turns into black charcoal after the gases are all released. Secondary air
increases a stoves efficiency by approximately 40% greatly reducing the amount of wood required for a heating
season (easily up to 1/3 less wood).
Secondary air timer (SAT) located on the left side of this appliance. Never attempt to burn your stove with the
timer knob set in the off position. This closes Off the secondary air and your stove will burn dirty and produce
creosote. The SAT should be left in the open position and locked with the timer stop lever set on
"Hi" and your stove will burn optimally. It is not necessary to use the timer except if you Wish to extend the length
of the coal bed time, after the wood has finished burning The Secondary Air Timer (SAT) is used to control the
duration of secondary air entering the stove. When burning the stove be sure the timer is set to open (Timer Knob
past One Hour and Timer Lever to "HI". The SAT is only used if you wish to extend the coal bed time on Medium
Low or Low setting. To do so:
1. GENTLY rotate Timer Knob clockwise to 2.5 to 3 hours for
Medium Low and 3 to 3.5 hours for Low as designated
on the timer plate.
2. Turn the timer lever down to "LO" to allow the timer
to close. Observe that the timer closes after there
are no more flames present
3. THE TIMER MUST BE OPENED AND THE LEVER SET TO
"HI" BEFORE ADDING MORE FUEL.
4. The above settings are based upon a 15 foot
chimney. The actual settings may vary slightly due to
your chimney height and the outside temperatures.
Taller chimneys and colder outside temperatures
cause a stove to burn faster. This means the SA timer
does not have to be opened as long. The same is
true of wood moisture – drier fuel will burn faster than
wetter fuel.
