    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 14: Venting Systems

    CK30 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Page 14 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.

  • Page 22: Operating Instructions

    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 23: Thermostat

    CK30 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 23 THERMOSTAT The thermostat knob is located on the top right rear corner of the stove. It controls the burn rate of the stove. Any thermostat position between LOW(thin line) and HIGH(wide line) will produce the desired clean burning characteristics.

  • Page 24: 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 .

  • Page 25: Lighting The Fire

    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.

    CK30 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 26 RELOADING PROCEDURE WHEN PREPARING TO RELOAD, IF THE NEEDLE ON THE CATALYTIC THERMOMETER IS STILL IN THE ACTIVE ZONE, FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE BELOW; IF THE NEEDLE HAS DROPPED INTO THE INAC- TIVE ZONE, REFER BACK TO THE “LIGHTING THE FIRE” PROCEDURE ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE. It is important to note that the catalytic thermometer is simply displaying the temperature of the catalytic combustor.

  • Page 27: Optimal Thermostat Setting

    CK30 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 27 OPTIMAL THERMOSTAT SETTING Any thermostat position between LOW and HIGH will produce the desired clean burning characteristics. However, since each application can vary, you may find it necessary to operate the thermostat to suit your application.

  • Page 28: Catalyst Monitoring

    It is also possible that the thermometer, itself, may not be reading accurately. Before condemning the combustor, read “THERMOMETER”. If, after cleaning has been performed, your combustor is still not working you can Contact Blaze King for a replacement combustor. Please read “REPLACEMENT PARTS” section in this owners’ manual.

    Solution: Burn quality woods available in your area. If you decide the catalyst has been deactivated, replace combustor with a genuine Blaze King combustor (failure to do so will void your warranty). Severe Peeling 180-CK30.2 v1.06...
  • Page 30 CK30 CATALYST MONITORING Page 30 PROBLEM - CATALYST MASKING (The catalyst is coated with a layer of fly-ash or soot which prevents catalytic activity) Possible Cause: Accumulation of fly-ash Solution: Brush cooled combustor with a soft-bristled brush or vacuum lightly at least once per burning season. PROBLEM - THERMAL CRACKING Possible Cause: Normal operation, as long as the combustor remains intact.
