Operation

Wood Selection

This heater is designed to burn natural wood only.  Higher 
efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning 
air-dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods 
or too green or freshly cut hardwoods.

Wood should be properly air dried (seasoned) for six months 
or more.  Wet or undried wood will cause the fire to smoulder 
and produce large amounts of creosote.  Wet wood also 
produces very little heat and tends to go out often.

DO NOT BURN:

 

-*Salt water wood  

-Coal/charcoal

 

-Treated wood   

-*Garbage/Plastics

 

-Wet or green wood 

-Solvents

* These materials contain chlorides which will rapidly 
destroy metal surfaces and void warranty.

Do not burn anything but wood.  Other fuel, e.g. charcoal, 
can produce large amounts of carbon monoxide, a tasteless, 
odourless gas that can kill.  Under no circumstances should 
you attempt to barbecue in this heater.

How to Test Your Wood

Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good 
large bed of coals.  It is dry if it is burning on more than 
one side within one minute.  It is damp if it turns black and 
lights within three minutes.  If it sizzles, hisses and blackens 
without igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not 
be burnt.

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

Your Pacific Energy heater is designed for maximum overall 
efficiency at a moderate firing rate.  Overfiring is hazardous 
and a waste of fuel.  Too slow a burn contributes to creosote 
buildup and lowers combustion efficiency.

Lighting the Fire

WARNING:  Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern 
fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids  
to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this heater. Keep all such 
liquids well away from the heater while in use.

1)  Adjust air control to "H" (high) position (pushed to the 

far left) and open door.

2)  Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater 

and criss-cross with several pieces of dry kindling.  Add 
a few small pieces of dry wood on top.

3)  Ignite the paper and close the door.
4)  After the fire as established itself, open the door and 

add a few small logs.  Close door.

5)  Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists 

and wood has charred.

Normal Operation

1)  Set air control to desired setting.  If smoke pours down 

across  the  glass  (waterfall  effect),  this  indicates  you 
have shut the control down too soon or you are using 
too low a setting.  As every home’s heating needs vary 
(i.e. insulation, windows, climate, etc.), the proper setting 
can only be found by trial and error and should be noted 
for future burns.

2)  To refuel, adjust air control to "H" (high) position (pushed 

to the far left) and give the fire time to brighten.  Open 
door slowly, this will prevent backpuffing.

3)  Use wood of different shape, diameter and length (up 

to 19").  Load your wood endwise and try to place the 
logs so that air can flow between them.  Always use dry 
wood.

4)  Do not load fuel to a height or in such a manner that 

would be hazardous when opening the door.

5)  For  extended  or  overnight  burns,  unsplit  logs  are 

preferred.  Remember to char the wood completely on 
"H" (high) setting before adjusting air control for overnight 
burn.

WARNING:    Always  keep  loading  door  closed  when 
burning.  If the door is left partly open, gas and flames 
may be drawn out of the fireplace stove opening creating 
risks from fire and/ or smoke. This heater is not designed 
for open door burning, unless a manufacturer supplied 
screen is used. 

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 “H” (high) position (pushed to the 

far  left)  and  in  just  a  few  minutes,  logs  should  begin 
burning.

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

setting.

4)  When  burning  at  a  slow  rate  for  extended  periods, 

occasionally maintain a strong fire under supervision for 
a couple of hours to relieve firebox and chimney deposits 
as well as any of the deposits on the glass.

WARNING:  This method is not a substitute for regular 
chimney inspections and cleaning.

5)  To achieve maximum firing rate, set control to “H” (high) 

position (pushed to the far left). Do not use this setting
