height, weather, log size, wood species and moisture 
content. Some experimentation will initially be required 
to 

nd that “sweet spot” where your stove performs best. 

The following will give you a starting point to 

find

 your 

optimum settings.
 

When 

rst loading fuel set the primary air inlet con-

trol (center) at the wide open (Pull out) position for at 
least 15–20 minutes (the high burn duct control should 
be closed – pulled out – when starting 

fires)

. When the 

stove is working properly you should be able to observe 
secondary combustion 

flames

 above the fuel pieces in 

front of the secondary air tubes at the top of the 

rebox. 

These secondary 

flames

 should continue to burn after 

the primary air inlet is reset from wide open to the de-
sired operating setting. If the 

flames

 do not continue to 

burn, open the air control to re-establish the secondary 

flames

 then slowly reset the air control to the desired 

setting. Initially it may take several attempts to 

figure 

your stove out. But once you 

find

 the operating “sweet 

spot” and the correct mix of procedures to get there, 
only minor adjustments will be necessary.
 

The best indicator of a properly operating stove is 

to look for smoke coming out of the chimney. You may 
see steam emissions that will quickly dissipate. Smoke 
will thin but continue to drift without totally disappearing. 
If you do detect smoke emissions, open the air control 
a little bit, let the stove adjust for 10–15 minutes and 
re-check  your  chimney.  Remember  –  visible  smoke 
represents lost heat.

 

NOTICE - INITIAL BURNS TO CURE PAINT 

BECAUSE  OF  THE  HIGH  OPERATING 

TEMPERATURES,  THIS  STOVE  USES 

A  SPECIAL  HIGH-TEMP  PAINT  WHICH 

REQUIRES  A  SERIES  OF  BURNS  TO 

CURE THE  PAINT  FOR  DURABILITY  AND 

A LIFETIME OF SERVICE.  

 

P r o p e r   c u r i n g   o f   t h e   h i g h - t e m p   p a i n t 

requires  a  series  of  three  initial  burns.  The  stove 
should  be  allowed  to  cool  off  between  each  burn. 
The  first  two  burns  should  be  small  fires  and  low 
temperatures  (250°F/120°C)  for  a  duration  of 
20  minutes  each.  The  third  fire  should  be  at  a  
medium-high temperature (500 to 700°F/260 to 370°C) 
for twenty minutes. Provide adequate cross ventilation 
to clear any smoke or odor caused b

y initial fi

rings.

STARTING A FIRE

1.  Set 

Primary Air Inlet Control Lever 

(round ball 

control located  under  the  center  of  the  ash lip) 
to  thefully open position(pull control out towards 

you).

 

NOTE:  OPEN/HIGH=OUT; CLOSED/LOW=IN.

2.  Open  the  feed  door  and  place  several  wads  of 

cr

ushed paper in the fireb

ox.

3.  Cover the paper with a generous amount of kindling 

in a teepee fashion and a few small pieces of wood.

4.  Ignite the paper and leave the door open slightly. 

DO  NOT  LEAVE  STOVE  UNATTENDED WITH 

DOOR  OPEN!  Except  while  tending  the 

re, 

operating the stove with the feed door open or 

ash clean out cover removed may cause over 

firing

 resulting in unsafe operating conditions.

5.  Add large pieces of wood as the 

fire

 progresses 

being  careful  not  to  overload.  (Do  not 

fill

 

fireb

ox 

beyond 

fireb

rick area.) An ideal coal bed of 

 – 

2˝ 

(25mm - 50mm) should be established to achieve 
optimum performance. 

6.  This unit is designed to function most effectively 

when air is allowed to circulate to all areas of the 

fireb

ox. TIP:  If  ash  or  coals  remain  in  the  stove, 

continued on next page

 

 

 

 

 

 

make  sure  to  clear  them  away  from  the  Lower 
Primary Air Or

ifice

 (LPAO) and rake a slight 

(1˝

 – 

2˝/25mm-50mm

 wide) trough down the center of 

the coal bed from front to back prior to loading the 
fuel.
