always wear gloves when 

operating the stove.

OPeratIOn

do not burn wet wood!

CautION

The stove is hot while in operation. Keep chil

-

dren, 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.

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 ashe

s from the fire chamber periodically by 

raking a poker across the bottom grates.

Excessive ash buildup can prevent proper venting 

of exhaust gases. D

o 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.

Overfiring

Avoid overfiring your stove. Overfiring is a poten

-

tially hazardous situation which can lead to overheat-
ing  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 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.
