Ash Removal

Caution:  Ashes are to be removed only when the heater 
is cold.
Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox, 
and  when  fire  has  burned  down  and  cooled,  remove 
excess ashes.  Leave an ash bed approximately 1" (25 
mm) deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot 
charcoal bed.

Ash Cleanout system:

  The ash dump handle is located 

under the ash lip on the left hand side.  To operate ash 
dump, pull handle out 1/2" and turn clockwise.  This will 
unlock the ash dump and allow it to open.  Hold handle 
open while pulling ashes into the opening.  Avoid large 
embers as these still contain heat value.  Release handle 
and push in to lock.  Ensure ash dump door is properly 
engaged.  Fill the cavity with the remaining ash level with 
the  firebox  floor.  Lift  and  pull  out  ashpan  and  discard 
ashes into metal container.  Replace ashpan and ensure 
it is seated properly.

Do not burn with ash dump door open. Doing so will 
create a hazardous condition.  Always leave about 1" 
of ash when cleaning.

Disposal of Ashes

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight 
fitting lid.  The closed container of ashes should be placed 
on a non-combustible 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  closed 
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.  Other 
waste should not be placed in this container.

Baffle Removal

The Chimney connector pipe should be disconnecte
from stove to clean and inspect the chimney.  Only if
thisis not  possible should you remove baffle assembly.

DO NOT OPERATE WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR 
INSULATION REMOVED.

Removal

Remove retaining pin at the back top of the firebox, just 
under the baffle.  Lift baffle up and pull forward to discon-
nect from the supply tube.  Tilt baffle sideways to drop 
down and remove from firebox.  Inspect gasket between 
baffle and supply tube.  If necessary, replace with gasket 
#139.5 available from your Pacific Energy dealer.  Re-install 
baffle assembly in reverse order.  The two side pieces of 
insulation must be tight against the siderails.

WARNING:  Do not use grates or andirons to elevate 
the fuel.  Burn directly on the fire bricks.  Replace 
broken or missing bricks.  Failure to do so may cre-
ate a hazardous condition.

Restarting After Extended or 
Overnight Burns

1.  Open door and rake hot embers towards the front of 

the heater.  Add a couple of dry, split logs on top of 
embers, close door.

2.  Adjust air control to high (control lever to the left) and 

in just a few minutes, logs should begin burning.

3.   After wood has charred, reset air control to desired 

setting.

4.  To achieve maximum firing rate, set air control lever 

to the left-most position.  Do not use this setting other 
than for starting or preheating fresh fuel loads.

DO  NOT  OVERFIRE  THIS  HEATER:    Attempts  to 
achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design 
specifications  can  result  in  permanent  damage  to 
the heater and chimney.

More Wood, More Heat

Seasoned wood has approximately 7500 BTU's per pound. 
If you put 10 pounds of wood in your stove for an eight 
hour burn the wood will be producing 9375 BTU's per hour. 
(7500 BTU x 10 lbs./8hrs.=9375 BTU's per hr.) If you put 
20 lbs of wood in your stove for eight hour burn you will 
get 18,750 BTU's per hr. (7500 BTU x 20lbs./8hr.=18,750 
BTU's per hr.). This is only an example and is based on 
100% efficiency. In reality, your stove should perform in 
the 70% efficiency range.
Experience  will  give  you  the  right  settings  for  proper 
combustion and efficient burning. Remember the correct 
air inlet setting is affected by variables such as type of 
wood, outside temperature, chimney size and weather 
conditions.  With practice, you will become proficient in 
operating your heater and will obtain the performance 
for which it was designed.

Proper Draft

1.  Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance 

up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your 
chimney depends on the length of the chimney, local 
geography, nearby obstructions and other factors.

2.  Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures 

in the appliance.  An uncontrollable burn or a glowing 
red stove part or chimney indicates excessive draft.

3.  Inadequate draft may cause backpuffing into the room 

and plugging of the chimney. Smoke leaking into the 
room through appliance and chimney connector joints 
indicates inadequate draft.
