Harman TL300 17

building a Fire

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 flow. Ignite 

the paper and close the loading door(s). Allow this start-

up fire to burn for a few minutes, keeping the bypass 

damper open. Add about five 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 firebox and staggered 

to allow airflow. Close the door and allow this loading 

to burn a few minutes. 

Add increasingly larger pieces of wood to the fire 

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. 

You must have this charcoal 

bed established before you close the bypass damper.

      

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-

ficient mode of operation where the exhaust gases get 

re-burned in the secondary combustion package. If you 

cannot achieve a charcoal bed within the first 15 to 20 

minutes, your wood is likely too wet, and you may need 

to burn the fire longer and/or hotter to compensate for 

the extra energy needed to drive out the moisture. 

If, after five 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 significant 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 setting. At high settings, 

above the first 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 fire, 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 configuration 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. 

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 and damage will occur to the stove.

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.

Building and Maintaining the Fire

Do not use chemicals or fluids

 to start the fire.

Never  use  gasoline,  gasoline-type  lantern  fuel, 

kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids 

to start or “freshen up” a fire in this heater.  Keep 

all such liquids well away from the heater while 

it is in use.
