HIGH FIRE WITH A COLD START
To start the fire from a "cold" stove:
1. Inspect that all seals on the door, ash drawer, and
ash plug are in good condition. Close the ash
drawer. Plug ash hole. Inspect the chimney and
chimney connector, see maintenance on page 18.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPERATE STOVE IF THE
GLASS IS BROKEN.
WARNING: THE CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND BE
KEPT CLEAN TO SAFELY USE THIS STOVE.
2. Cut and split approximately 15 kindling pieces 16
inches long. Half of them should be approximately
3/4 inch square, the rest 1/2 inch square. The
kindling should be very dry and weigh approximately
4.5 lbs.
WARNING: DO NOT USE GRATE OR
ELEVATE FIRE – BUILD WOOD FIRE
DIRECTLY ON HEARTH. DO NOT
OPERATE WITH THE MAIN DOOR OPEN –
OPERATING THE STOVE WITH THE MAIN
DOOR OPEN WILL CREATE AN OVER-FIRE.
3. Cut and split approximately 15 start-up fuel pieces
16 inches long. Half of the pieces should be larger
cross-section (approximately 1 ½ inches square) and
the rest smaller cross-section (approximately 1 inch's
square). These can be split from larger fuel pieces
that are in the range of 19-25% moisture (Dry-basis).
The total weight of the start-up fuel should be
approximately 6.8 lbs.
CAUTION: WHEN TENDING THE STOVE
ALWAYS WEAR FIRE RETARDANT CLOTHING
AND PROTECTIVE EYEWARE.
4. Arrange the start-up fuel pieces in a grid as shown
in the following Figures. Place two of the larger
pieces about six inches apart going front to back.
Next, two more pieces the same size left to right
about six inches apart. Place about seven of the
small pieces front to back on top of the gird. See
Figure 18. Place the remaining start up fuel sideways
on top.

alternation grid pattern with the larger pieces first
followed by the smallest with a layer of three pieces
