  • Page 18: Air Controls

    OPERATING THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR SETTINGS Primary air- is the driving air supply that feeds the fire in the heater. This air is introduced through the damper in the feed door to sustain the combustion. Secondary air – is the air supply that is typically introduced above the fire to effectively “re-burn” the smoke created in the primary combustion before the exhaust gasses exit the stove.
  • Page 19: Do Not Burn

    Operation The top down method of fire building is recommended for this appliance. After making sure that the stove air intake controls are fully open (open all three air controls to there maximum setting). Place the largest pieces of wood on the bottom, laid in parallel and close together. Smaller pieces are placed in a second layer, crossways to the first.
  • Page 20: Testing Your Wood

    It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY WOOD only. The wood should have dried for 9 to 15 months, such that the humidity content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log. It is very important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has been stored in poor conditions.
  • Page 21 HEATING WITH YOUR WOOD FURNACE 1. Spread the fire and coals evenly towards the center of the combustion chamber before loading your furnace fully or adding more wood. 2. Avoid overfilling the combustion chamber. Air must be allowed to circulate freely through the upper portion of the combustion chamber for the stove to perform best.
  • Page 22: Over Firing

    ASH DISPOSAL Whenever ashes get 3 to 4 inches deep in your firebox or ash pan, and when the fire has burned down and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 1 inch deep on the firebox bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
