  • Page 4 Introduction In many ways, the Progress Hybrid was inspired by our customers’ request for a larger wood stove capable of heating large spaces. Many wanted the choice of top or rear venting and right or left side loading. A large ash pan option also made the list. Of course everyone wanted a grand view of the mes- merizing flames.
  • Page 5 amount of fuel (smoke and gasses) present will dictate which system (or both) is most active. Simply allowing more air into the firebox will generate more heat there, while also increasing the amount of oxygen to light off the secondary combustion process. The result is a spectacular light show as the sec- ondary flames swirl and tumble around the firebox.
  • Page 6 Read this entire manual carefully. It explains how to install your Woodstock Soapstone Progress Hybrid Wood Stove safely and how to operate it correctly and efficiently. The clearances and procedures recommended in this guide are in compliance with the recommendations of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the Underwriters Laboratories (UL), and the U.
  • Page 7 CHIMNEYS Your chimney is a critical component of your wood heating system. A prop- erly designed and constructed chimney will help to provide safe and efficient woodstove operation. Hot exhaust rising up through the chimney also pulls combustion air into the stove through the air damper. If a chimney is too short, or the flue too large, the hot exhaust will cool and slow down.
  • Page 8 Listed wall passing through a combustible wall. For more information on these kits, protector & please contact Woodstock Soapstone Company. Please note: there are several cover shield UL listed wall pass through kits available, always follow the manufacturers UL listed and approved wall pass thru kit.
  • Page 9 Chimney Connection used with fireplace inserts or factory built fireplaces. These ARE NOT suitable for use with your Woodstock Soapstone stove. At the point of the first penetration of a combustible surface (i.e., wall or ceiling) all subsequent venting components need to be prefabricated “UL Type HT Class A”. If your prefabricated chimney goes through a living space it must be enclosed, and that enclosure must conform to clearance standards for the prefab- ricated chimney.

  • Page 13 DO NOT USE: Old-fashioned stove boards that were commonly sold in hardware stores as they DO NOT have adequate protection and ARE NOT approved for primary floor protection under your stove. Hearth Rugs also ARE NOT meant to be used as primary hearth protection. These are made to be used in addition to an approved hearth, and are used as auxiliary decorative protection.
  • Page 14 CORNER HEARTH PAD Minimum hearth size in a corner installation must be 54”x54” (with the front corner cut off). NOTE: On a hearth of minimum size, the stove will not be centered left to right, but will meet the minimum required clearances.
  • Page 15 Wall shields: Clearances can also be reduced by mounting a ventilated shield on the wall that extends 36” out beyond the stove (see diagram below). If you are installing wall protection, it should be spaced out from the wall one inch.

  • Page 20 Both soapstone and cast iron 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 21 CAUTION 8. Adjust the air control damper to a lower setting by lifting the lever up. The lower the burn rate, as less air is entering the firebox. The final NEVER USE GASOLINE, damper setting will be determined by the desired heat output from the GASOLINE TYPE LANTERN stove, the condition of the wood being burned, and the draft through the FUEL, KEROSENE, CHAR-...
  • Page 22 Never build a roaring fire in a cold stove. It takes at least 30 minutes to heat the soapstone panels of the Progress. Attempts to reach high temperatures very quickly could result in damage to the cast iron or soapstone parts. Burning for Higher Heat Output These instructions are intended as a guide to operating your wood stove.
  • Page 23 36 hours to cool. Woodstock Soapstone Company offers a black metal ash holder with a hinged lid that closes tightly. Four sturdy legs keep it off the floor, and the wooden handle is not only decorative, it will also protect your hands.
  • Page 24 Avoid overfiring by letting the combustor and secondaries do most of the work in the stove. Your stove is operating at peak efficiency when the combustor is “engaged”and the secondaries are ignited, with the damper lever set to a low to moderate setting, and the logs are glowing with secondary flames apparent. You will get the greatest amount of heat per pound of wood when the stove is operated in this manner.
  • Page 25 Firewood Your Woodstock Soapstone Stove is designed to burn seasoned, natural cordwood. Higher efficiency and lower emissions generally result when burning air-dried seasoned hard woods, 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 26 CATALYTIC COMBUSTORS 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.
  • Page 27 1) Burn only natural, well-seasoned wood. 2) Wait until the exhaust gases reach about 500 degrees F (internal temperature) before engaging the catalytic combustor (about 10-15 minutes after re-establishing a strong fire). 3) Bypass the combustor before reloading and leave the bypass open for a few minutes after reloading to raise the temperature in the stove.
  • Page 28 6. Close the top lid. Catalytic Combustor Replacement If you feel that your catalytic combustor is not working properly, please contact Woodstock Soapstone Company at 1-800-866-4344 for instructions regarding return and replacement. Accessing the catalyst in your new Progress Hybrid Woodstove is simple, just remove the top soapstone pieces, raise the cast iron cook top, and gently pull the combustor out of its housing.
  • Page 29 The catalytic combustor is additionally warranted for three years from the date of purchase for any deterioration in the stainless steel substrate material. For instruc- tions regarding return or replacement of the catalytic combustor, please contact: Woodstock Soapstone Company, Inc. 66 Airpark Road West Lebanon, NH 03784...
  • Page 30 M INTEN NCE Stove Cleaning The ornamental cast iron frame of the Woodstock Soapstone Stove is painted with two coats of high temperature stove paint. Under normal operating conditions, this paint will not peel or blister. We suggest cleaning by dusting with a soft brush or vacuuming with a brush attachment when the stove is cold.
  • Page 31 Routine Checks And End of Season Maintenance Every few weeks of operation we recommend checking the chimney connector (stovepipe) and combustor (see combustor section) and cleaning, if necessary. When the weather warms up and the burning season is over, it is a good idea to do a thorough spring cleaning and inspection of your stove and chimney system.
  • Page 32 combustors on pages 20-23. 3. Never operate your stove for extended periods of time with the draft control completely closed. Both the wood fire and the catalytic combustor need oxygen to burn efficiently. 4. Re-establish a hot fire, and re-ignite the combustor after every reloading by opening the primary air control for about 10 minutes.
