Outside Air Connection
The stove can accept a 3-inch aluminum flex tube for outside air. Make sure when
connecting the fresh air tube to the outside that you cover the end with a screen of some
sort, but not a screen that would restrict air in-flow. Utilize a screen with wider openings
ONLY.
FIRST FIRE/ VERY IMPORTANT
Remember to ventilate well. Allow the stove to cure with several small fires before burning for long
periods of time at high temperatures. Flat spots on the painted surface are normal. Shiny spots on
the painted surface (before burning) are normal.
SMALL FIRES OF 4 TO 5 INCHES IN DIAMETER.
1.Do not use a grate or elevate the fire inside the firebox.
2. Use only Dry (Seasoned) Wood in 16" or smaller lengths and 6" wide at most.
3. When the stove is used for the first time, solvents in the paint will smoke off as the stove
"cures."
NEVER USE LOGS THAT HAVE ADDITIVES IN THEM LIKE WAX, OILS, OR OTHER BINDING
AGENTS. PURE SAWDUST LOGS ONLY. USE OF THESE TYPES OF LOGS CAN CAUSE A FIRE
THAT IS OUT OF CONTROL VERY QUICKLY DUE TO THE ADDITIVES.
CLEAN AND INSPECT YOUR CHIMNEY REGULARILY AND WATCH OUTSIDE FREQUENTLY TO
LOOK FOR SMOKE TO INSURE CORRECT DRAFT PLACEMENT FOR EFFECTIVE CLEAN
EFFICIENT BURNING.
ALWAYS STORE YOUR LOGS/ WOOD IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA AWAY FROM DIRECT
MOISTURE.
WOOD/FUEL – Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning
NATURAL SAWDUST LOGS. Cord wood must be dry and split. DO NOT OVERFIRE THE STOVE
Use only dry, seasoned wood. Green wood, besides burning at only 60 percent of the fuel
value of dry wood, deposits creosote on the inside of the stove and along the chimney. This
can cause extreme danger of chimney fire.
To be called "seasoned," wood must be dried for a year. Regardless of whether the wood is
green or seasoned, it should be stored in a ventilated, sheltered area to allow proper drying
during the year. Wood should be stored beyond recommended clearances from
combustibles.
DO NOT
BURN: Logs with Additives, Treated Wood, Garbage, Solvents, Trash, Cardboard,
Colored Paper or Coal. (spiders are ok)
NEVER USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR 'FRESHEN UP' A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP ALL
SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE.
