2.4 EPA Loading
The loading methods shown below are those used during emissions certification. Fuel used was
beech cordwood and fuel length was 16 ± 1 inches.
2.4.1 Air control
The air control is located below the ash shelf on the
right. To open the air control, push the air control handle
completely to the right (High). This will increase the burn
rate. To close the air control, push the air control handle
completely to the left (Low). This will decrease the burn
rate.
2.4.2 High burn rate (primary air control open)
Open the air control completely. Criss cross 8 small pieces
(2”x2”) of wood into the firebox in 2 layers (3 in the bottom,
3 in the middle, 2 on the top). Criss cross 10 to 12 finely
split kindling wood pieces over the small pieces of wood. Tie knot with five sheets of paper and
place them on top of the kindling wood. Light up the paper and let the door completely open
until the 2 top layers are burning. Close the door. When the kindling and the small pieces of
wood are almost completely burnt out and it is possible to break them into small pieces, level
the coal bed and put 6 logs in the firebox. Place 2 small pieces (about 3” x 3”) in the bottom in
a reverse V shape, then put two medium size pieces (about 4”x4”) in an East-West orientation
in the back, one over the other (over the reverse V). Put the 2 last medium size pieces (about
4”x4”) in the front, one over the other. Try to leave air space between the pieces. Let the door
open at 90° for 3 minutes or when the fire is fully established and close the door. Leave the air
control fully opened.
2.4.3 Medium and low burn rate
On a 2” coal bed that is dark red, add 6 pieces of wood in the firebox. Place 2 small pieces
(about 2.5” x 2.5”) in the bottom in a reverse V shape, then put 2 medium size pieces (about
4”x4”) in an East-West orientation in the back (over the reverse V), one over the other. Put a big
piece (about 5”x5”) in an East-West orientation in the front (over the reverse V) and put a last
medium size piece (about 4”x4”) over the big one. Try to leave air space between the pieces.
Let the door open at 90° for 5 minutes or when the fire is fully established and close the door.
Leave the primary air control open for approximately 5 minutes and then close the primary air
control halfway. After another 5 minutes, close the air control completely for the low burn rate
and 7/32” open for the medium burn rate.
