  • Page 12: Cookstove Operation

    3. Cookstove operation Components use Cooking with a wood-burning cookstove is an art that requires several attempts to get to know and control the appliance. Many factors can influence how the cookstove will heat the oven and the cooking surface. Among them, the type of fuel used and its quality, the size of the logs and when to load before cooking.
  • Page 13 3.1.1 Oven FIGURE 5 FIGURE 5 Figure 8: Oven door closed Figure 9: Oven door open FIGURE 6 The cooker has a stainless steel oven to cook or bake food. The panoramic glass of the oven door allows you to watch your meal without having to open the door. During cooking, keep the oven door closed to maintain a constant temperature.
  • Page 14 3.1.2 Cast iron cooking surface FIGURE 7 Figure 10: Cast iron cooking surface It is not recommended to cook food directly on the cast iron top, as the paint used is not food grade. The cast iron cooking surface on the top of the range is designed to provide intense heat to allow food to be cooked.

  • Page 15: Gas Path

    Gas path Figure 11: Gas path FIGURE 8 The gas path is in fact the circuit followed by the hot gases emitted by burning wood. This circuit is used to heat the stainless steel oven and the cast iron cooking surface. The primary air supply provided by the pilot feeds the wood combustion.

  • Page 16: Combustibles

    4. Combustibles Good firewood has been cut to the correct length for the stove, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its moisture content is down to 15% to 20%. DO NOT BURN: • GARBAGE; •...

  • Page 17: Log Length

    Log Length Logs should be cut at least 1" (25 mm) shorter than the firebox so they fit in easily. Pieces that are even slightly too long makes loading the stove very difficult. The most common standard length of firewood is 16" (400 mm). Piece Size Firewood dries more quickly when it is split.

  • Page 18: Efficient Wood Combustion

    Here are some facts to consider in estimating drying time: − Firewood bought from a dealer is rarely dry enough to burn, so it is advisable to buy the wood in spring and dry it yourself; − Drying happens faster in dry weather than in a damp climate; −...

  • Page 19: First Use

    First Use Two things happen when burning the first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they smell bad. Fresh paint fumes can also trigger false alarms in smoke detectors. When lighting the heater for the first few times, it may be wise to open doors and windows to ventilate the house.

  • Page 20: Combustion Cycles

    It is possible to use ragged paper but it may not hold in place since it tends to roll while it is burning. The best is to wrap a sheet on itself, grab the ends of the roll and make a knot. Use four or five sheets of paper tied together and put them on top and around the kindling.

  • Page 21: Rekindling A Fire

    Rekindling a Fire Generally, when you need to cook, it is time to reload. Remove excess ash from the front of the firebox and bring the ashes forward. Place a new load of wood on, and at the back of the embers.
  • Page 22 The control of the primary and secondary air inlet is simultaneous and is done with a single regulation control, located under the combustion chamber door. The optimum regulation of the air inlet can vary according to various factors, such as the chimney flue, the temperature of the cookstove and, the quality of the firewood (moisture, size and shape).

  • Page 23: Maintenance

    6. Maintenance This cookstove will give many years of reliable service if used and maintained properly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as vermiculite and baffle will wear over time under intense heat. Defective parts should always be replaced with original parts. Firing each load hot to begin a cycle will not cause premature deterioration of the cookstove.

  • Page 24: Grills And Cast Iron Cooking Surface

    Grills and cast iron cooking surface Clean the grills with a brush and mild soap. To clean the cast iron cooking surface, wipe it with a soft and damp cloth. Do not clean the surface when it is hot. If rust or scratches appear, follow the instructions in section 6.4 Cleaning and painting to repair the surface.

  • Page 25: Glasses

    Glasses The cookstove has two glasses to maintain. The combustion chamber glass has a gasket while the furnace does not. 6.6.1 Cleaning Under normal conditions, the door glass should stay relatively clear. If the firewood is dry enough and the operating instructions in this guide are followed, a whitish, dusty deposit will form on the inner surface of the glass after a week or so of use.
  • Page 26 6.6.2 Replacement The glass used is a ceramic glass, 5/32" (4 mm) thick, tested to reach temperatures up to 1400º F. If the glass breaks, it must be replaced with one having the same specification.

  • Page 27 6.6.3 Gasket The glass gasket is flat, adhesive-backed, woven fibreglass. The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. Follow the steps of the previous section to remove the glass. Remove the old gasket and clean the glass thoroughly. Peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge,...
  • Page 28 6.6.6 Adjustment of the combustion chamber door In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically to check for a good seal. The gasket seal may be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment: Remove the split pin by pulling and turning it using pliers.
  • Page 29 6.6.7 Door Alignment To align, open the door and loosen the pressures screws located on the lower and upper hinges of the door using a 3/32” Allen key to free the adjustable hinge rods. Figure 15: Release eccentric hinges Figure 16: Adjust eccentric hinges Using a flat screwdriver, turn the adjustable hinge rods in the direction shown to adjust the doors.
  • Page 30 6.6.8 Gasket It is important to replace the gasket with another having the same diameter and density to maintain a good seal. Remove the door and place it face-down on something soft like a cushion of rags or a piece of carpet. Remove the old gasket from the door.

  • Page 44: Floor Protection

    Floor Protection This stove is designed to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a non-flammable surface to protect the floor from hot embers that may fall during loading. Any type of tile will require a continuous non combustible sheet beneath to prevent the possibility of embers falling through to the combustible floor if cracks or separation should occur in the finished surface.

  • Page 45: Clearances Reduction To The Walls And The Ceiling

    Clearances Reduction to the Walls and the Ceiling It is often desired to use as little space as possible when installing cookstove. To do this, it is possible to reduce the clearances safely and install the cookstove closer to the walls by permanently installing a heat shield between the cookstove and the flammable material.

  • Page 52 Venting systems that rise straight up from the stove flue collar provide the best performance. Chimneys that rise inside the warm space of the house tend to provide a small amount of draft even when there is no fire burning. This means that when a fire is lit, the smoke goes up the chimney and strong draft build quickly as the chimney flue warms up.

  • Page 53: Installing The Chimney Connector

    Installing the Chimney Connector The chimney connector is the single or double wall pipe installed between the stove flue collar and the chimney breech. Single wall pipe components are available from most hardware and bu ilding supply stores. These components are not usually tested to a particular standard and certified as compliant.

  • Page 55: Installation Of Double Wall Chimney Connector

    A vortex double wall connector, with its vented stove adapter (VOD0290), is recommended for this type of installation. Consult www.drolet.ca for more details. Other brands of double wall connectors are adequate as long as they offer the option of a vented double wall stove adapter.

  • Page 56: Combustion Air

    Combustion Air For the cookstove draft to work correctly, the room must have an outside or fresh air inlet, with a minimum of 5" diameter, from the house exterior to the room, that is at least sufficient to replenish the volume of air that comes out of the chimney flue. In well insulated houses an air inlet must be fitted through the outer wall that is not exposed to the prevailing winds, depending on the surrounding conditions of the house.

  • Page 57: Conventional House

    11.2 Conventional House The safest and most reliable supply of combustion air for a wood stove is from the room in which it is installed. Room air is already preheated so it will not chill the fire, and its availability is not affected by wind pressures on the house.
