3 . F inal Stage
The final stage of burning is the charcoal stage. This occurs
when the flammable gases have been mostly burned and
only charcoal remains. T his is a naturally clean portion of
the burn. The coals burn with hot blue flames.
•
It is very important to reload your appliance while enough
lively hot coals remain in order to provide the amount of
heat needed to dry and rek i ndle the nex t load of wood.
•
It is best to open the Primary Air Slide Control and the
Start-Up Air Controls before reloading. T his livens up
the coalbed and reduces ex c e ssive emissions ( opacity/
smok e ) .
• Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit ap-
pliance through opening.
•
B reak up any large chunk s and distribute the coals so
that the new wood is laid on hot coals.
Air quality is important to all of us, and if we choose to use
wood to heat our homes we should do so responsibly.
W e need to learn to burn in the cleanest way possible al-
lowing us to continue using our wood appliances for many
years to come.

E. Air Controls
Start- Up Air Sys tem
The combustion air enters at the rear of the firebox through
the rear air tubes. T his air supply is controlled by the Start-
up Air Control. For more air push control in, for less air pull
control out.
P rimary Air Sys tem
T he primary air enters below the ash catcher and is directed
to the upper front of the firebox, near the top of the glass
door and to the lower front of firebox. This preheated air sup-
plies the necessary fresh ox y g en to mix with the unburned
gases, helping to create secondary, tertiary and q uaternary
combustions. This air is regulated by the Primary Air Slide
C ontrol. F or more primary air slide control left, for less air,
slide control to the right.
