Load
the
firebox
with
6
‐
9
lb
of
startup
wood,
split
to
moderate
(1/4
to
½
lb)
size.
-
On
top
of
the
startup
wood,
add
3
‐
5
lb
of
dry
kindling.
-
Start
‐
up:
Ignite
the
kindling
until
an
aggressive
flame
is
established
and
reaches
the
secondary
tubes
at
the
top
of
the
firebox.
-
Close
the
door
and
set
air
to
maximum
High
Burn
-
Load
on
to
a
coal
bed
with
minimal
large
chunks
of
wood,
if
practical
-
Load
wood
parallel
to
the
sides
of
the
firebox
-
Place
wood
pieces
as
far
back
in
the
firebox
as
possible.
-
Avoid
loading
arrangements
that
result
in
tightly
packed
wood
pieces.
Select
orientations
that
result
in
gaps
between
wood
pieces
and/or
wood
pieces
sitting
higher
in
the
firebox.
-
Any
bark
should
face
up
to
facilitate
quick
ignition
-
Once
visible
flame
reaches
the
secondary
tubes,
close
the
door
and
set
air
to
maximum
Low
and
Medium
Burn
-
Allow
the
stove
to
burn
at
its
intended
Medium
or
Low
setting
for
at
least
15
minutes
prior
to
loading.
This
can
be
done
by
burning
on
High
until
down
to
the
top
of
the
coal
bed
range,
then
setting
the
air
and
allowing
15
minutes
to
elapse.
-
Leave
the
door
closed
for
the
15
‐
minute
period
–
rake
the
coal
bed
prior.
-
As
with
the
high
burn:
o
Load
wood
parallel
to
the
sides
of
the
firebox
o
Place
wood
pieces
as
far
back
in
the
firebox
as
possible.
o
Avoid
loading
arrangements
that
result
in
tightly
packed
wood
pieces.
Select
orientations
that
result
in
gaps
between
wood
pieces
and/or
wood
pieces
sitting
higher
in
the
firebox.
o
Any
bark
should
face
up
to
facilitate
quick
ignition
o
Once
visible
flame
reaches
the
secondary
tubes,
close
the
door
and
set
air
to
maximum
-
When
visible
secondary
combustion
is
established
(the
flames
are
‘rolling’
up
near
the
tubes),
begin
to
slowly
reduce
the
air
setting
over
at
least
5
minutes.
Ensure
that
secondary
combustion
is
maintained
as
air
is
reduced.
Magnetic
Thermometer
-
England’s
Stove
Works,
Inc.
always
recommends
the
use
of
a
magnetic
stove
thermometer,
so
that
the
temperature
of
the
unit
can
be
monitored.
When
using
a
magnetic
stove
thermometer,
locate
the
thermometer
above
the
door
on
either
the
left
or
right
side
of
the
stove
and
use
the
following
temperatures
as
rough
guidelines
to
determine
the
burn
rate
and
heat
output
level
of
the
stove:
o
Normal
wood
stove
operation
should
occur
between
350°F
(177°C)
and
550°F
(288°C),
with
350°F
(177°C)
to
450°F
(232°C)
being
a
low
to
medium
heat
output
level
and
450°F
(232°C)
to
550°F
(288°C)
being
a
medium
to
high
heat
output
level.
Operating
the
stove
at
600°F
(316°C)
would
be
considered
the
maximum
continuous
operating
temperature
permissible
and
unit
damage
may
result
from
operating
at
that
high
of
a
burn
rate
for
extended
time
periods.
Allowing
the
unit
to
reach
650°F
(343°C)
or
higher
is
defined
as
over
‐
firing
and
will
result
in
unit
damage.
