  • Page 16: Operating Your Stove

    2300 Installation and Operation Manual 4 OPERATING YOUR STOVE 4.1 YOUR FIRST FIRES Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the stove are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do smell bad.

  • Page 17: The Top Down Fire

    2300 Installation and Operation Manual 4.2.2 THE TOP DOWN FIRE The top down fire starting method solves two problems with the conventional method: first, it does not collapse and smother itself as it burns; and second, it is not necessary to build up the fire gradually because the firebox is loaded before the fire is lit.

  • Page 18: Ash Removal

    2300 Installation and Operation Manual Wood burns best in cycles. A cycle starts when a new load of wood is ignited by hot coals and ends when that load has been consumed down to a bed of charcoal about the same size as it was when the wood was loaded.

  • Page 19: Firing Each New Load Hot

    2300 Installation and Operation Manual Remove ash first, and then rake charcoal towards the front of the firebox before loading so that it will ignite the new load. 4.3.4 FIRING EACH NEW LOAD HOT Place the new load of wood on and behind the charcoal, and not too close to the glass. Close the door and open the air control fully.

  • Page 27: Cleaning The Chimney

    2300 Installation and Operation Manual It is recommended to clean thoroughly the chimney system at the end of every heating season. During summer, the air is damper and with minimal air circulation within the stove or furnace, it can mix with creosote and/or sooth deposits in the chimney system to form an acid that could accelerate the corrosion process and induce premature decay of the steel.

  • Page 38: Why The Chimney Should Penetrate The Highest Heated Space

    2300 Installation and Operation Manual 8.4.2 WHY THE CHIMNEY SHOULD PENETRATE THE HIGHEST HEATED SPACE When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This tendency of warm air to rise creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure low in the house (relative to outside) and a slightly positive pressure zone high in the house.
