LOADING AND STARTING THE FIREBOX (continued)
7) Once you have this smaller material loaded and your accelerant added (if used)
load some larger heavier material on top, such as logs or big branches. Load
these heavier materials, also from your "Good Wood" pile, to a height just below
the manifold nozzles. This heavier material will help compress the smaller materi-
al which will give you a better light-off. If there are large air spaces between the
materials in the FireBox, the heat will not build up as quickly and the fire may be
more difficult to light.
8) This material, once burning, will become your hot base fire to support continued
burning. Use your best and driest materials ("Good Wood") for startup, as this will
form a strong base for continued burning plus it will start quicker and burn hotter.
If you will be burning stumps then it is best to load them after the first hour of burn-
ing when the fire is up to full temperature.
9) The level of material in the fire box for light-off should be kept just below the mani-
fold nozzles.
10) Using an appropriate method such as a propane torch (like a weed burner) or oil
soaked rags on poles to light the fire.
11) Once the fire is burning Start the engine. Do not increase the engine speed too
fast as the air from the manifold could "blow-out" your fire.
12) There is always smoke on start-up, as all of the material in the box contains mois-
ture, compared to later in the burn operation, when only the new material you are
loading contains moisture. Plus, the air curtain cannot be fully engaged, until the
fire has strengthened or you run the risk of blowing out the fire.
13) Do not load new material into the FireBox too fast during the first hour of burning
operations until a good hot base has been achieved.
14) Once a good hot fire base is achieved load new material at a rate that causes good
ignition and does not "smother" the fire.
"Less material, more often, will give you the fastest burn rate."
