Oakleaf Woodburning stove

3. grates 

The Harman Oakleaf's unique grate system 

consists of one

 

flat bottom grate, and two front 

andirons. The  bottom  grate  has  slots  which 

allow the ash to fall into the ash pan by passing 

a poker back and forth across the grate. The 

andirons keep the fuel from coming into direct 

contact with the glass, and keep hot coals and 

embers from spilling out while reloading. Never 

build a fire directly against the glass.

The  grates  and  andirons  must  remain 

in place at all times.  do not tamper with 

or  change  the  configuration  of  this  grate 

system.

C.  The Combustion process

Combustion  in  the  Harman  Oakleaf  is  precisely 

controlled and is best explained in two parts.

During  a  wood  fire,  combustion  air  enters  at  the 

bottom front of the stove where it travels upward through 

channels  at  either  side  of  the  front  door.  From  the 

manifold located above the front door, it is directed into 

the firebox as a sheet of air flowing between the glass 

and the wood. This concept  helps to keep the glass 

clean, while providing the oxygen needed to sustain 

burning. This is what is known as "Primary Combustion". 

Additional air enters at the bottom rear of the stove 

body. Some of this air enters through holes in the rear 

bricks where it is used to revitalize the fire at the rear 

of  the  firebox.  The  remainder  is  delivered  into  the 

"Firedome" combustion package where the "Secondary 

Combustion", or re-burning of the smoke, occurs.

During combustion, the burning of wood proceeds 

through several stages. The initial or evaporation stage 

is where the moisture in the wood is driven off in the 

form  of  steam. A  second  stage  is  where  the  volatile 

gases contained in the wood are released and burned. 

This represents most of the wood's heating capacity. 

The final stage is the charcoal stage where the charcoal 

burns the remaining heat content in the wood fuel. Ash 

remains after the burning is complete. Within the primary 

firebox two or more of these stages of combustion are 

occurring at once.

Always  be  sure  to  provide  adequate  ventillation 

to the room where the apliance is located, to prevent 

air starvation. In tight construction, consider installing 

outside air to the appliance.

2. doors

Your stove has a large glass-paneled door for loading 

and fire viewing, a separate smaller door for removing 

ashes and a top loading door.  

Front Door

Before opening, always check for wood, embers, or 

ash that may be ready to fall out of the door. 

To open the glass door, open the bypass damper 

first,  then  turn  the  handle  clockwise  and  pull  out;  to 

close the door, push the door closed with the handle 

in the open position, then turn, counter-clockwise, to 

engage the latch.  

Ash Door

To open the ash door, lift up the handle and pull out.  

Close the door by pushing in and pushing the handle 

all the way down. 

Top Load Door

To open the top load door, open the bypass damper 

and then lift to open the top load door.

All doors must be closed while the stove is in normal 

operation, and the gaskets routinely examined for wear 

and  replaced  when  necessary.  Good  door  seals  are 

important for maintaining control of the stove. Never 

operate with the ash door open. Operating the stove with 

the ash door open, or with a door inadequately sealed, 

could create a serious overfiring condition (discussed 

later in this section).

The  glass  used  in  your  Oakleaf  is  manufactured 

to exact standards to withstand the high heat of the 

fire, but like all glass, it must be treated with common 

sense and care.  Never abuse the  glass by slamming 

the door shut or striking the glass with a heavy object.  

If the glass is broken or damaged, do not operate the 

stove until it has been replaced 

(See instructions in the Maintenance section.)
