    Poor draft can also lead to poor heat production and the inability for the combustor to remain active in lower burn rate settings. High efficiency appliances, such as your Blaze King stove, may require some fine tuning of your chimney system in order to maximize performance.

  • Page 15: Venting Systems

    BX24.1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 15 VENTING SYSTEMS The venting system consists of a chimney connector and a chimney. These get extremely hot during use. Temperatures inside the chimney may exceed 2000 degrees in the event of a creosote fire. To protect against the possibility of a house fire, the chimney connector and chimney must be properly installed and maintained.

    Consequential damage from this type of operation will deem the warranty null and void. All Blaze King wood appliances are designed to burn cord wood only. Dimensional timber off cuts, very low moisture content small diameter wood and pressed wood logs, when used in excess, may result in excessive internal firebox temperatures that can cause causing irreversible damage to the firebox’s internal structure.

  • Page 21: Bypass

    “CATALYTIC THERMOMETER” under “MAINTENANCE”. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Your Blaze King fan kit (OPTIONAL) is equipped with a three-prong (grounded) plug to decrease shock hazard. THIS PLUG SHOULD BE INSERTED DIRECTLY INTO A PROPERLY-GROUNDED, THREE-HOLE RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG. Do not route the power cord in front or under the stove.

    BX24.1 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 22 SELECTING WOOD THIS APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO BURN NATURAL WOOD ONLY. DO NOT BURN TREATED • WOOD, COAL, CHARCOAL, COLORED PAPER, CARDBOARD, SOLVENTS OR GARBAGE. • HIGHER EFFICIENCIES AND LOWER EMISSIONS WILL GENERALLY RESULT WHEN BURNING AIR DRIED SEASONED WOODS, AS COMPARED TO WET, GREEN OR FRESHLY CUT WOODS.

  • Page 23: How To Use Moisture Meters

    The more seasoned (dry) the wood, the higher the efficiency (less energy wasted on eliminating moisture during combustion). Operating your Blaze King at lower settings will result in higher efficiencies as the fuel will undergo a more complete combustion. For maximum efficiency, the appliance should be installed in a location that provides adequate intake/combustion air as well as a location that will allow for the straightest run of optimal chimney length to establish necessary draft .

    Don’t be afraid to fill it completely if necessary. With the Blaze King automatic thermostat, the wood will only burn at the rate set on the thermostat.
