A masonry chimney that is damaged should be repaired or rebuilt. Contact your Fire Department for further advice. Your family should have a prearranged plan so that each person will know what to do and will act immediately if such an emergency arises. BUILDING AND FIRE CODES, PERMITS, AND INSPECTIONS.
When selecting wood for your Blaze King stove it is preferable that you use seasoned wood. Dry, seasoned wood will burn cleaner and produce less creosote. Dry or small pieces of fuel will provide a hotter fire. Larger pieces can be used to provide a longer burn time.
DOOR GASKET & GLASS Check the loading door gasket for deterioration at least twice each heating season. Inspect the gasket for physical deterioration missing sections or obvious leakage. To check the gasket further, insert a piece of paper into the door opening and close and latch the door. Obvious resistance should be felt when pulling the paper out.

COMBUSTION AIR CONTROL - OPTIMUM SETTING LOADING OR RELOADING 1. Temperature adjustments. Adjustments to achieve the desired room temperature should be made in small increments for the most effective clean-burning operation. After a few days you will know where to set your thermostat to deliver just the heat you require. Small hot fires produce less creosote than large smoldering fires.
