How to Test Your Wood
Add a large piece of wood to the stove when it has a good large bed of coals. It is dry if it is burning on more than one
side within one minute. It is damp if it turns black and lights within three minutes. If it sizzles, hisses and blackens with-
out igniting in five minutes it is soaked and should not be burnt
Lighting a Fire
WARNING: Never use chemicals or any other volatile liquid to start a fire.
1. Adjust air control to "High" position(all the way to the left) and open door.
2. Place crumpled newspaper in the centre of the heater and crisscross with several pieces of dry kindling. Add a few
small pieces of dry wood on top.
3. Ignite the paper and leave the door ajar approximately 1/2"(13mm) - 1"(25mm) until the wood kindling is fully
engulfed in flame. After the kindling is fully engulfed add a few small logs. Close door.
4. Begin normal operation after a good coal base exists and wood has charred. Operate on a medium to high setting,
for up to 1 hour from cold start.
Curing of the Paint Finish
See Stove Bright user guide. When burning your stove for the first 2-3 times it is very important that the room be well
ventilated. Open all windows and doors.
HEALTH WARNING. The smoke from the curing process displaces oxygen. Small children, elderly folks and persons
with existing breathing problems should vacate the area during the hot burn to avoid the discomfort of lost oxygen. The
smoke is primarily Carbon Dioxide, and therefore non-toxic but uncomfortable.
Normal Operation
WARNING: This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is
against federal regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent
with the operating instructions in this manual.
1. Set air control to a desired setting. If smoke pours down across the glass (waterfall effect) this indicates you have
shut the control down too soon or you are using too low a setting. The wide range control makes finding the desired
setting for your application easy. As every home's heating needs vary (ie. insulation, windows, climate, etc.) the
proper setting can only be found by trial and error and should be noted for future burns.
2. To refuel, adjust air control to "High" position(all the way to the left), and give the fire time to brighten. Open the door
slowly, this will prevent backpuffing or flame roll-out.
3. Use wood of different shape, diameter and length ( recommended 16"(406mm)). Load your wood and try to place
the logs so that the air can flow between them. Always use dry wood.
4. Do not load fuel to a height that exceeds the height of the side firebricks or in such a manner that would be hazard-
ous when opening the door.
5. For extended or overnight burns, unsplit logs are preferred. Remember to char the wood completely on "High" set-
ting before adjusting air control to the "Low" setting for overnight burn. Active secondary burning should be pres-
ent above the wood load. If it is not present or goes out shortly after, proper operating temperature has not been
reached and the stove needs additional warm up time.
WARNING: Always keep loading door closed when burning. This heater is not designed for open door burning.
