  • Page 16: Do Not Burn

    Woodstove Utilization This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: 1. Garbage; 10.
  • Page 17: Testing Your Wood

    Woodstove Utilization CAUTIONS: • Ashes could contain hot embers even after two days without operating the stove. • The ash pan can become very hot. Wear gloves to prevent injury. • Never burn the stove with the stove door or ash clean out opening unsealed . This would result in over firing the stove.
  • Page 18: Operation

    Woodstove Utilization The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efficiently the combustion process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. Learn to adjust the air settings of your specific unit to produce the smallest amount of visible smoke.
  • Page 19: Ash Disposal

    Woodstove Utilization Creosote - Formation and Need for Removal when wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
  • Page 20: Maintenance

    Maintenance Your wood stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore requires little maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the stove every time it is emptied, in order to insure that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe periodically for creosote buildup or obstructions.
