  • Page 18: Operation

    Both soapstone and steel need to be seasoned. The seasoning can be accomplished through a series of small to moderate fires. Your Woodstock Soapstone Stove is an easy stove to season, because even a small fire will provide hours of radiant heat once the stove is warm. There are two things you will notice during the first fire: First, there will be a hot, acrid smell as the stove heats up.
  • Page 19 Engaging the Catalytic Combustor The catalytic combustor will start to burn the gases and particles in the smoke when the temperature of the smoke reaches approximately 500ºF (internally) , or after about 5-15 minutes of establishing a strong fire. Each stove comes with a magnetic thermometer.
  • Page 20 Burning for Higher Heat Output These instructions are intended as a guide to operating your wood stove. Your timing and final damper settings will vary depending on chimney draft, type of wood, moisture content of the wood and size of the splits. The Ideal Steel Hybrid is simply designed and intended to be user friendly, but it will take some practice to understand how the stove works best for you.
  • Page 21 The Pipe Thermometer We recommend placing the thermometer 8”-10”above the flue collar on single wall stove pipe if the stove is vented out the top. If the stove is rear vented, the surface thermometer should be placed on the steel plate toward the back of the stove. If you are reading the single wall stove pipe temperature, the interior flue exhaust temperature is about twice as hot.
  • Page 22 Firewood Your Woodstock Soapstone Stove is designed to burn dry, natural cordwood. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried hardwoods, as compared to green, freshly cut hard woods. It is perfectly fine to burn soft woods in your stove as long as they are properly dried.
  • Page 23 THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR Here is how your catalytic combustor works. The catalytic combustor is a stainless steel honeycomb with hundreds of cells. If you looked at the inside of each cell with a microscope, you would see that the walls are uneven and filled with minute nooks and crannies. Precious metals, such as platinum, are sprayed on the inside of these cells to coat all of the nooks and crannies.

If this happens, you may get smoky smells in your home. One way to reduce the likelihood of this happening is to block the flue exit in the stove with fiberglass insulation at the end of the heating season.
