OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
to 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.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE
WITH DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 4 to 5 pieces of newspaper
into the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 5 lbs of
kindling in a random placement to ensure airflow through
the kindling. On top of the kindling, place approximately
6.5 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.
Push both air control slides to the fully open position.
Light the newspaper and close the door. Once the kindling
has burned down to a starter coal bed, load the unit with
approximately 26 to 27 lbs of fuel for the first high burn
load.
26 to 27 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
31 to 32 lbs of cordwood and keep the door slightly open
6.5 lbs
13
for 2 minutes. After two minutes close the door. Keep the
secondary airslide fully open for 10 minutes then close
completely and set the primary airslide halfway closed.
At the 15 minute point of loading your fuel, the primary
air slide should be set at the medium setting which is
about 1/2 inch open from the fully closed position.
31 to 32 lbs
For a low burn setting once the high burn (or medium)
fuel load is burned down to an established coal bed, load
the unit with 31 to 32 lbs of cordwood and leave the door
open for two minutes. After two minutes close the door.
Keep the secondary airslide fully open for 10 minutes then
close completely and set the primary airslide halfway
closed. At the 15 minute point of loading your fuel, the
primary air slide should be set at the low setting which
is pulling the airslide completely out toward you. NOTE:
Do not close the air too quickly. Closing the air too quickly
will cause the unit to smoke.
