Th

  e following pages contain information on the major components and operation of your heater.  Please take 

time to read about them as it will give you a better understanding of how your stove works.  Th

 is understanding 

will help you to operate your stove properly thus will extend the life of your stove and allow you to get the

  ciencies from your heater.

SELECTING WOOD

• 

THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY.  DO NOT BURN 
TREATED WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLORED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR 
GARBAGE.

• 

HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS WILL GENERALLY RESULT WHEN 
BURNING AIR DRIED SEASONED WOODS, AS COMPARED TO WET, GREEN OR 
FRESHLY CUT WOODS.

• 

BURNING WET UNSEASONED WOOD CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE CREOSOTE 
ACCUMULATION.  WHEN IGNITED IT CAN CAUSE A CHIMNEY FIRE THAT MAY RESULT 
IN A SERIOUS HOUSE FIRE.

Use dry seasoned wood, split and stacked and protected from rain for at least 24 months with a moisture content 
of 20% or lower.  It takes a great deal of energy to evaporate the moisture contained in green wood and that 
energy will not be heating your house.  Also, green or wet wood will greatly increase creosote problems.  Th

 e 

only accurate method to determine moisture content in wood is to use a moisture meter.
Never burn salt-water drift wood.  It is very corrosive and will damage the fi rebox.  Burning salty wood also voids 
the warranty.
Th

  is controlled combustion fi rebox has been designed for high effi

  ciency and long burn times.  Th

  e proper time 

to add more wood is when the last charge has been reduced to a glowing charcoal bed.  Th

  ere will be very little 

smoke at this stage in the burn cycle.
Both hardwood and soft wood burn equally well in this appliance but hardwood, which is more dense, will weigh 
more per cord and burn a little slower and longer.
Firewood should be split and stacked in a manner that air can get to all parts of it and covered in early spring to 
be ready for burning that fall.

The only accurate way to determine wood moisture is to purchase a moisture meter.

•  NEVER START A FIRE UNLESS ALL BRICKS ARE CORRECTLY PLACED INSIDE THE 

FIREBOX.  CHECK THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
