Build a wood re as described but instead of adding larger

wood, limit the size to about 2" in diameter. Add enough 2"

wood that the rebox oor is covered with burning wood.

After the wood is burning well for about ve minutes, put

the wood air controls in the down position and slide the coal

air control to the right. This makes the primary air ow up

through the grates as is required for coal burning.

Next add a layer of coal on top of the wood. Continue

burning until the layer of coal is turning red and igniting. It

is possible to speed this process by opening the ash door, but

never for more than ve minutes at a time.

Operation with the ash door open for more than ve min-

utes will overre the stove and may cause damage to the stove.

Never leave the stove unattended with the ash door open.

After the layer of coal is burning, a second layer may be

added. After the second layer is burning, more layers may be

added.

As you begin to operate your stove at higher temperatures,

you will notice a “hot” or unpleasant smell; this is just the

paint going through the curing process, and will disappear

after a few res.

Avoid overring your stove. This is a potentially hazardous

situation which can lead to the overheating of combustible

wall or oor materials, damage to the stove, and in extreme

cases, cause a re. Overring is caused by: Too much air

owing through the stove too quickly. You may have inad-

vertently left the bottom door open. Or, Not keeping up with

routine maintenance, such as checking door gaskets for wear.

The chimney may have exceesive draw or draft, which can

be remedied by installing a barometric damper

Overring results in excessive fuel consumption, and may

cause parts of the stove or chimney connector to glow red.

If you notice signs of overring, reduce the air supply to the

re, and review the Maintenance section in this manual. Do

not burn the stove continuously at the maximum setting. If

maximum heat is required day after day, the stove is too small

for the area you are trying to heat.

In the event of a chimney re, call your local re depart-

ment; make sure everyone is safely out of the house. Reduce

the air intake of the stove as much as possible using the air

control lever. Do not throw water on the re; this can cause

stove damage and create an even more dangerous situation.

Have your chimney professionally cleaned and inspected

before resuming burning in your stove.

Add Even Layers by pouring evenly across coal bed
