a more efficient burn.

Extended burn times can be accomplished by first operating the stove on a full load with the air

inlet controls wide open. Once the fire is well established, and the moisture has been driven out of

the wood, reduce the air control to a low setting. The unit should then burn cleanly without

smoldering. If the fire smolders without flame, re-establish a hotter fire before moving the air

control to the low setting. A yellow flame burning in the top of the firebox is a good indication of a

clean efficiently burning fire.

Refuelling technique is important for good performance. The best efficiency and performance from

your stove can be achieved by adding partial loads of fuel and allowing them to get up to operating

temperature before adding additional fuel. Adding a large amount of fuel at one time will increase

the time required to get the fuel up to its ignition temperature, and an extended time to reach

optimal performance. When refueling, open the air control or hold the door partially open 1" (25

mm) or less long enough (less than 5 minutes) so that the fire has well established flames. When

refuelling, care is required to ensure that fuel or embers do not fall out of the door opening. The

unit will burn at about 2.0 to 2.5 lb/hr (.9 to 1.1kg/hr) at its minimum setting; approximately 20 to

25 lbs (9 to 11.3kg) of wood are required for an extended burn.

In order to achieve an optimum efficiency from your unit, we suggest that you operate it with the

air control slightly open (approximately 10%). Make sure that you have a good fire going and an

adequate ember bed before you completely close the air control. Use a chimney thermometer if

necessary. Closing the air control too soon will lower combustion efficiency and may cause the

fire to die out. The addition of a blower (if not already included) is highly recommended to

maximize your unit's efficiency.
