building a Fire

Overfiring

Avoid  overfiring  your  stove.  Overfiring  is  a  potentially 

hazardous  situation  which  can  lead  to  overheating  of 

combustible  materials  nearby,  damage  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 open or 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 section 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 

resuming burning in your stove.
As you begin to operate your stove at higher temperatures, 

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.

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 ashe

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 Oakwood was designed to provide 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.
Never use the ash disposal container for other trash. Wood 

ash can be added to your garden or compost.

CAUTION

!

the stove is hot while in operation. keep children, 

clothing and furniture away. contact may cause skin 

burns.

CAUTION

!

never leave the stove unattended if either the ash or 

load door is open. Overfiring may result.

CAUTION

!

risk of excessive temperatures. keep ash door 

closed during Firing of the heater.
