    Set Up Your Stove Cast iron stoves are heavy, and it will take two to four people to move your Encore MF into position. Wash the protective coating of oil from the griddle with soap and water. Dry the griddle thoroughly and apply a light coating of vegetable oil to season the surface and help prevent rust.

  • Page 13 Two Ways to Add Fuel The Encore’s griddle lifts for convenient top-loading of fuel, and is the easiest way to regularly add fuel.

    A stove is part of a system, which includes the chimney, the operator, the fuel, and the home. The other parts of the system will affect how well the stove works. When there is a good match between all the parts, the system works well.
  • Page 18 Creosote Creosote is a by-product of slow wood-burning. It’s an organic tar that can condense in the flue if it’s dense in the smoke, and slow-moving, and cools off to less than 143° C (290° F). Condensed creosote is volatile, and can generate chimney fires if it gets hot enough.
