FUEL LOADING AND BURN CYCLE

DO NOT STORE WOOD WITHIN APPLIANCE INSTALLATION CLEARANCES OR WITHIN THE SPACE
The bricks will be nearly all white and the glass mostly clear. The whiteness of the bricks and the cleanness of the
glass are good indicators of your operating effi ciency.
Not enough heat is produced when only one or two pieces of wood are burned.
A minimum of three pieces are needed to encase a bed of coals that sustains the fi re. Loosely stacked wood burns
quicker than a tightly packed load.
Wood burns in cycles rather than giving a steady output of heat. It is best to plan these cycles around your
household routine so that only enough coals are left to start the next load. In the evening load your appliance at
least a half-hour before bed to ensure the fi re is hot enough to close the draft control for an overnight burn.
Burn only dry seasoned wood. It produces more heat and less soot or creosote. Do not burn ocean beach wood. Its
salt content can be corrosive to the metal.
