4.
Set the draft control at high,(see Table3.2)
5.
Light a fire at the bottom of the crumpled paper and close the door. If the fire tends to go out,
momentarily hold the door slightly ajar to fan the fire. As soon as the fire catches hold, close the
door.
6.
Ideally the large kindling should be burned until a thick bed of red embers is obtained. At that
point, add cordwood fuel and continue to operate the draft control wide open until the fire is well
established. Once the firebox is hot, the draft control can be partially closed by pushing the knob
to adjust the intensity of the fire.
Use Table 3.2 to adjust the draft control to the desired burn rate:
Burn Rate
Low
Medium Low
Medium High
High
Closing the draft control down too soon will lower combustion efficiency, and may result in creosote
build-up in the chimney (which could lead to a chimney fire).
