BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD
THIS WOOD APPLIANCE HAS A MANUFACTURER-SET MINIMUM LOW BURN RATE THAT MUST
NOT BE ALTERED. IT IS AGAINST FEDERAL REGULATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES TO ALTER THIS
SETTING OR OTHERWISE OPERATE THIS WOOD APPLIANCE IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT WITH
Your Timberwolf EPA listed product is designed with the most advanced technology. The appliance is extremely
airtight.
The fi rst fi re(s) in your appliance will be diffi cult to get going and keep going with little amount of heat being generated.
This is a result of the moisture being driven out of the fi re brick. During the break-in period (the fi rst 2 or 3 fi res) create
only small, fi res using kindling; this will allow the fi rebrick to cure. Do not be alarmed if small hairline cracks develop in
the fi rebrick. This is a normal occurrence and does not pose a safety hazard. The paint may also smell a little for the
fi rst few fi res as it cures and you may wish to open a door or window to alleviate the smell.
To start, a brisk fi re is required. Place loosely crumpled paper on the fl oor of the appliance and cover with dry kindling.
Open the air control fully by sliding control all the way to the right. Light the paper and leave the door slightly ajar (one
inch) until all kindling is burning. To maintain a brisk fi re, a hot coal bed must be established and sustained.
Slowly add larger wood (2x4 size pieces). Lay the pieces lengthwise from side to side in the hot coal bed with a
shallow trench between, so that the primary air can fl ow directly into this trench and ignite the fuel above. When the fi re
seems to be at its peak, medium sized logs may be added. Once these logs have caught fi re, carefully close the door.
(Closing the door too quickly after refueling will reduce the fi rebox temperature and result in an unsatisfactory burn.)
Remember it is more effi cient to burn medium sized wood, briskly, and refuel frequently than to load the appliance with
large logs that result in a smouldering, ineffi cient fi re and dirty glass.
As soon as the door is closed, you will observe a change in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber. The fl ames, however, are more effi cient. The fl ames will
remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the fi rebricks have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes
heated and provides a good draft. At this point, the roaring fi re that you see when the door is opened is wastefully
drawing heated room air up the chimney, certainly not desirable. Always operate with the door fully closed once the
medium sized logs have caught fi re.
