meet strict 2020 guidelines. To ensure this unit produces
the optimal minimum emissions it is critical that only
well-seasoned cordwood is burned (see the “Fuel
Recommendations” section of this manual). Burning
unseasoned wet wood only hurts your stoves efficiency
and leads to accelerated creosote buildup in your chimney.
Be considerate of the environment and only burn dry wood.
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE APPLIANCE UNATTENDED THE WITH
DOOR OPEN.
For a cold start-up, place 4 to 5 pieces of newspaper into
the firebox. On top of the newspaper, lay 5 lbs of kindling in
a random placement to ensure airflow through the kindling.
On top of the kindling, place approximately 6.5 lbs of small
pieces of cordwood. NOTE: Use smaller pieces of wood
during start-up and a high burn rate to increase the stove
temperature.
6.5 lbs
Push both air control slides to the fully open position.
Light the newspaper and close the door. Once the kindling
has burned down to a starter coal bed, load the unit with
approximately 26 to 27 lbs of fuel for the first high burn
load.
26 to 27 lbs
After the first high burn load and the stove is well warmed
up, adjust the unit as needed for a medium or low burn
setting. For a medium burn, once the high burn fuel load is
burned down to an established coal bed, load the unit with
31 to 32 lbs of cordwood and keep the door slightly open
for 2 minutes. After two minutes close the door. Keep the
secondary airslide fully open for 10 minutes then close
completely and set the primary airslide halfway closed. At
the 15 minute point of loading your fuel, the primary air
slide should be set at the medium setting which is about
1/2 inch open from the fully closed position.
31 to 32 lbs
For a low burn setting once the high burn (or medium) fuel
load is burned down to an established coal bed, load the
unit with 31 to 32 lbs of cordwood and leave the door open
for two minutes. After two minutes close the door. Keep
the secondary airslide fully open for 10 minutes then close
completely and set the primary airslide halfway closed. At
the 15 minute point of loading your fuel, the primary air
slide should be set at the low setting which is pulling the
airslide completely out toward you. NOTE: Do not close the
air too quickly. Closing the air too quickly will cause the
unit to smoke.
