Filling The Firebox - Central Boiler Classic CL 4030 Owner's Manual

Outdoor Torch
The optional Outdoor Torch (p/n
2900325) is an excellent tool for
starting a fire. Attaches quickly to
an external propane tank and can be
directed at the bottom of a wood pile
for quicker, easier combustion.
If the water in the outdoor furnace boils, be sure to check the water level and restore to
full. Add MolyArmor 350 (p/n 2900630) as needed (see Water Quality and Maintenance).
1. The first time you fire the outdoor furnace, place dry kindling wood near
the front of the firebox. Use a small amount of paper to light fire.
2. Add larger pieces of wood to the fire but do not fill the firebox completely.
3. When the water temperature reaches the controller setting (185˚F) and
the damper closes, let the outdoor furnace cycle a few times to be sure it is
operating properly; then add more wood.
4. After a few days of operation you will begin to learn how much wood is
needed each day. If you only add the amount needed, it is easier to stir
the ashes along the sides of the firebox and then to pull them forward (see
Firebox Maintenance).
NOTE: Be sure to clean and inspect the firebox as outlined in Section 3.
Failure to clean the firebox as indicated will result in excessive corrosion.
Periodically during the normal operation of the outdoor furnace, look at the
water temperature display. It should indicate a reading that is within 10°F of
the controller setting.
A reading of 212°F or above indicates either a low-water condition or a
malfunctioning temperature controller or snap disc (unless the door is open or
not sealing properly). If the condition persists and the water level is correct, call
your dealer for service.

Filling the Firebox

Prior to filling the firebox with wood, always pull the hot coals forward to the
draft area (front and center of the firebox). With the hot coals pulled to the
draft area, added wood ignites faster because combustion air is forced through
the hot coals and into the newly added wood. If the coals are pushed to the
back, a less efficient burn will result. If needed to extend the burn time, the
outdoor furnace may be completely filled.
Keep your face away and stay as far away as possible from the firebox door area when
opening the door.
