9.1 F 602 V2 Start-Up and Refueling
Follow these directions to get the best emissions
performance from your F 602 V2:
Cold Start
Use the following technique for the best start from a
"cold" stove:
1. Cut and split kindling pieces approximately 10" long.
The recommended piece size is 1/2 " - 3/4" in cross
section. Cut and split kindling pieces at 6'' long and
about 1/2'' in cross section. The kindling should be
very dry and the total weight would be about 1 lbs. if
hardwood. A recommended stacking arrangement of
the fuel pieces is shown in Figure 34.
2. The next fuel increment size for the "start up" pieces
should be the same length but a bit larger between 1"
to 1-1/2" in cross section. The start-up fuel total weight
should be about 2.3 lbs. Again, the criss-cross loading
technique will provide ample air flow through the
pieces resulting in a robust start-up.
3. When using a "top down" starting method the start-
up pieces will be on the bottom of the firebox with the
kindling pieces arranged on top of the start-up pieces.
The shorter pieces will run side to side and the long
pieces running front to back.
4. Make sure the air control on the door is fully positioned
to the right to allow maximum airflow to the fire.
5. For quick and easy ignition a propane torch can be
used for about 60 seconds. If doing the top down
start-up, light the top front of the pile.
6. Close the door until the latch hits. This will leave the
door in a slightly open position.
7. After one minute, close the door fully and secure the
door latch.
8. Make sure the air control is still in the maximum open
position.
Medium Fire
At the end of the previous burn cycle, rake and arrange
1.
the remaining coals until they are equally distributed
and level across the firebox.
2. Load with all pieces in a front to back (north / south)
orientation. Load the larger pieces in the center and
make sure there is some space on each side for good
air flow. Load the smaller pieces on top of the bottom
logs keeping them tightly spaced together.
3. Immediately close the load door and set the air control
to maximum open (fully to the right).

4. After 1 minute, set the air control to the medium position
which is in the center of the travel range.
Low Fire
1. At the end of the previous burn cycle, rake and arrange the
remaining coals until they are equally distributed and level
across the firebox.
2. Load with all pieces in a front to back (north / south)
orientation. Load the larger pieces in the center and make
sure there is some space on each side for good air flow.
3. Immediately close the load door and set the air control to
maximum open (fully to the right).
4. After 1 minute, adjust the air control handle to the minimum
air flow position (fully to the left) and leave it there until
the fire is well established on the top of the wood below
the baffle. There will still be some small openings visible
in the air inlet slots.
