building a Fire

Always remember to open the bypass damper when 

you are loading, this allows the exhaust gases to pass 

directly into the flue outlet and reduces the chance of 

smoke spillage into the room.   

Reloading:

  Once you have prepared and maintained 

a thick charcoal bed, and the secondary combustion is 

established, you should be able to reload the stove at 

any time by simply opening the bypass damper, then 

the load door, adding fuel and closing the door then the 

damper. This depends on coal bed size, load size and 

moisture content of fuel.

      Removing Ashes:

  Before reloading, empty the ash 

pan (remember to close the ash door while emptying 

the pan). The ashes should be the coolest at this time. 

Remove ashes from the fire chamber periodically by 

raking a poker across the bottom grates.

Excessive ash buildup can prevent proper venting 

of exhaust gases. Do not allow the ash pan to over-fill.  

Ash buildup between the ash pan and the bottom of 

the grate can cause the grate to overheat and wear out 

prematurely.                                  

The TL300 was designed to allow access to the ash 

pan without the need for opening the main door.  Before 

opening the ash door and removing the ash pan, open 

the bypass damper. Wearing heavy protective gloves, 

open the ash door and remove the ash pan by pulling it 

forward by the handle. Close the ash door and damper 

bypass before taking the ashes outside for safe disposal.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with 

a  tight  fitting  lid. The  closed  container  of  ashes 

should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the 

ground, well away from all combustible materials, 

pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of 

by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they 

should be retained in the closed container until all 

cinders have thoroughly cooled. (This could take 

days).

Never  use  the  ash  disposal  container  for  other 

trash. Wood ash can be added to your garden or 

compost.

Building and Maintaining the Fire Cont.

As you begin to operate your stove at higher tem-

peratures, you will notice a “hot” or unpleasant smell; 

this is just the paint going through the curing process, 

and will disappear after a few fires.

CAUTION

The stove is hot while in operation. Keep children, 

clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause 

skin burns.

 

Never leave the stove unattended if either the ash 

or load door is open.  Overfiring may result.

Risk of Excessive Temperatures. Keep Ash Door 

Closed During Firing of the Heater.

CAUTION:  Always wear fire-resistant 

gloves to operate the stove.  The air control 

is hot while in operation.

Avoid overfiring your stove.

 

Overfiring is a potentially hazardous situation which 

can lead to overheating of combustible materials, dam-

age to the stove, and in extreme cases, cause a fire. 

Overfiring is caused by:

 

1. Too much air flowing through the stove too quickly. 

2. You may have positioned the primary air control lever 

too far to the right. 

3. Inadvertently leaving the damper or ash pan door open 

4. Not keeping up with routine maintenance, such as 

checking door gaskets for wear.

Overfiring results in excessive fuel consumption, and 

may cause parts of the stove or chimney connector to 

glow red.  If you notice signs of overfiring, reduce the 

air supply to the fire, and review the Maintenance sec-

tion in this manual.

IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE,

 call your 

local fire department; 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; close the bypass 

damper to further restrict air flow. Do not throw water 

on the fire; this can cause stove damage and create an 

even  more  dangerous  situation.  Have  your  chimney 

professionally cleaned and inspected before relighting 

your stove.
