Begin with the bypass damper open, and the air

control lever at the maximum setting, all the way

to the right. Be sure the ash pan door is closed

and latched.

Start with a bed of crumpled paper and kindling

sized about finger width; place several 1" - 2"

(25mm - 50mm) split pieces of dry wood on top of the

kindling, followed by a few 2" - 3" (50 mm - 80 mm)

split pieces. Lay the wood in a crossed pattern to

allow maximum air ow. Ignite the paper and close

the loading door(s). Allow this start-up re to burn

for a few minutes, keeping the bypass damper

open. Add about ve more pieces of wood in the

2 to 3 inch (50 - 80mm) size range, making sure

that the fuel bed is all the way across the rebox

and staggered to allow airow. Close the door and

allow this loading to burn a few minutes.

Add increasingly larger pieces of wood to the

re until you have a thick bed of hot embers,

approximately 2 to 3 inches deep at the back of

the grate and at least an inch deep at the front.

Providing you have the charcoal bed described

above, close the bypass damper by pulling the

handle toward the front of the stove. This will begin

the highly efcient mode of operation where the

exhaust gases get re-burned in the secondary

combustion package. If you cannot achieve a

charcoal bed within the rst 15 to 20 minutes, your

wood is likely too wet, and you may need to burn

the re longer and/or hotter to compensate for the

extra energy needed to drive out the moisture.

If, after ve minutes of burning with the damper

closed, smoke is visible coming from the chimney,

you probably do not have the proper coal bed.

Open the bypass damper and continue with the

process until a signicant coal bed is formed.

To regulate the speed of the optional convection

blower, adjust the variable speed control from low

to high by turning the knob located on the blower.

The blower speed should be matched to the air

control lever setting. When the air setting is low,

the blower should always be at the minimum set-

ting. At high settings, above the rst notch on the

air control, the blower may be set to your desired

control level. Be sure the blower cord does not run

under, over, or in front of the stove.

The air control lever is located directly below the

ash lip of the stove. Using this lever will enable

you to vary the amount of air delivered to the re,

creating a range of heat outputs. The low heat

output setting is to the left, and high is to the far

right. Do not, under any circumstances, alter the

conguration or operation of the air control lever.

For low burn, slide the air control to the leftmost

notch. For medium burns, use notches 2 or 3.

Maximum heat is attained with the air control all

the way to the right. 

If your wood is not seasoned long enough or

is high in moisture, you may have to adjust the

primary air 1 or 2 notches higher to sustain a low

burn rate with the cleanest possible exhaust.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern

fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or similar

liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this

heater. Keep all such liquids well away from

the heater while it is in use.
