learn the burn characteristic of you appliance and burn
well-seasoned wood. Higher burn rates are not always the
best heating burn rates; after a good fire is established a
lower burn rate may be a better option for efficient heating.
A lower burn rate slows the flow of usable heat out of the
home through the chimney, and it also consumes less
wood.
INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH OPERATING TEMPERATURES,
THIS APPLIANCE IS COATED WITH A SPECIAL HIGH
TEMP PAINT WHICH REQUIRES A SERIES OF LOW TO
MEDIUM BURNS TO FULLY CURE FOR DURABILITY AND A
LIFETIME OF SERVICE.
ATTENTION:
THE PAINT ON YOUR APPLIANCE IS DURABLE BUT
WILL NOT STAND ROUGH HANDLING OR ABUSE. THE
PAINT USED MAY GIVE OFF SMOKE AND/OR AN ODOR
DURING THE FIRST FEW FIRES. THIS WILL OCCUR
UNTIL THE PAINT HAS CURED. ANIMALS / PEOPLE
WITH LUNG PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE PRESENT
DURING THE CURING PROCESS. BUILD SMALL
FIRES AT FIRST TO HELP THIS PROCESS AND OPEN
WINDOWS AND DOORS AS NEEDED TO CLEAR THE
SMOKE AND ODOR. IF THE APPLIANCE IS OVERFIRED,
THE PAINT WILL DISCOLOR. WHEN INSTALLING YOUR
UNIT, TAKE CARE IN HANDLING. CLEAN WITH SOAP
AND WATER WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS NOT IN USE.
DO NOT USE ANY ACIDS, ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR
SCOURING SOAP AS THESE SOLVENTS WEAR AND
DULL THE FINISH.
Proper curing of the high-temp paint requires a series of
three initial burns. The appliance should be allowed to
cool off between each burn. The first two burns should be
small fires and low temperatures (250°F) for a duration of
20 minutes each. The third fire should be at a temperature
of approximately 500°F for 20 minutes. Provide adequate
cross ventilation to clear any smoke or odor caused by
initial firings.
Notice: Use solid wood fuel only! Do not burn
garbage, or flammable fluids. Do not use coal.
This appliance is not designed to accommodate
the air flow (draft) required to properly burn
coal or coal products. Do not elevate the fire
using grates or irons. Build the fire directly on
the firebrick.
FUELING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit produces
the optimal minimum emissions it is critical that only
well-seasoned cordwood is burned (see the "Fuel
Recommendations" section of this manual). Burning
unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efficiency
and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in your chimney.
Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE.
KEEP THE FEED DOOR TIGHTLY CLOSED AT ALL TIMES
EXCEPT WHEN TENDING THE FIRE. DO NOT OPERATE
THE UNIT WITH BROKEN GLASS THIS WILL RESULT IN
AN OVERFIRE SITUATION.
For a cold start-up, place 3 to 4 pieces of newspaper into
the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 2 lbs of kindling in
random placement to ensure airflow through the kindling.
On top of the kindling, place approximately 3 to 4 lbs of
small pieces of cordwood. NOTE: Use smaller pieces of
wood during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the
stove temperature.
Rotate the air control fully down. Light the newspaper and
close the door. Once the kindling has burned down to a
starter coal bed, load the unit with approximately 12 to 13
lbs of fuel for the first high burn load.
12 to 13 lbs
After the first high burn load and the stove is well warmed
up, adjust the unit as needed for a medium or low burn
setting.
For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is burned
down to an established coal bed, load the unit with 14
to 15 lbs of cordwood and close the door immediately.
