Overnight Burn - Napoleon NZ-26 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

G. As soon as the doors are closed, you will observe a change
in the fl ame pattern. The fl ames will get smaller and lazier
because less oxygen is getting into the combustion chamber.
The fl ames, however, are more effi cient. The fl ames will
remain lazy but become larger again as soon as the fi rebricks
have been heated thoroughly and the chimney becomes
heated and provides a good draft.
H. With the doors opened the fi re is wastefully drawing heated
room air up the chimney, certainly not desirable. Always
operate with the doors fully closed once the medium sized
logs have caught fi re.
You can now add larger pieces of wood and operate the appliance
normally. Once the appliance is entirely hot, it will burn very
effi ciently with little smoke from the chimney. There will be a bed of hot
coals in the fi rebox so you can safely fi ll the fi rebox with wood.
Can't get the appliance operating? Use more kindling and paper.
Assuming the chimney and vent are sized correctly and there is suffi cient
combustion air, the lack of suffi ciently dry quantities of small kindling is the
problem. Thumb size is a good gauge for small kindling diameter.
Can't get heat out of the appliance? One of two things may have
happened. The appliance door may have been closed prematurely and
the appliance itself has not reached optimum temperature.
Re-open the door and/or draft control to re-establish a brisk fi re. The
other problem may have been wet wood. The typical symptom is sizzling
wood and moisture being driven from the wood.
NOTE: Appliances surrounded by solid rock or brick, will
experience a longer heat up period as those materials absorb
the heat being generated.
BURNING YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOORS OPEN OR AJAR CREATES A FIRE HAZARD THAT

8.5.1 OVERNIGHT BURN

This appliance is large enough to accommodate overnight, 14 hour burns.
Follow these steps below to achieve an overnight burn.
A. Get the appliance hot by moving the air control to high and letting
the appliance burn for 15 minutes.
B. Load your larger pieces of wood compactly, packed close enough
to prevent the fl ames from penetrating it completely.
C. After approximately 30 minutes, depending on the size of the load,
reduce the draft control setting making sure that the fi re is not
extinguished.
D. In the morning the appliance should still be hot, with embers in the
coal bed. Stir the coals and load small pieces of wood to re-ignite the fi re, if desired.
NOTE: Differences in chimney height and draft may lower overall burn times.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THE APPLIANCE! Overfi ring can occur by burning large amounts of smaller wood
pieces or vigorously burning large loads of wood with the draft control on "HIGH" (fully open) for long
periods of time (one or two hours).
