Enamel castings can be cleaned with a standard
glass cleaner on a cool stove. With time and
use, a very fine, subtle network of crazed lines
may appear seemingly beneath the surface of
the enamel. Crazing is a natural predictable
process and does not represent a flaw.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your Heating Needs
Virtually all woodstove operators experience
basic common problems at one time or another.
Most are correctable and generally require only
a minor adjustment of the stove, installation, or
operating technique. In cases where weather

If you question whether or not your stove is
producing adequate heat, the best way to
troubleshoot the problem is to monitor the
temperature of the stack.
stovepipe confirms the stove is supplying
sufficient heat. Keep in mind that your house
itself will regulate room/house temperatures.
How well the walls, floors and ceilings are
insulated, the number and size of glass
windows, the tightness of outside doors, and the
construction or style of your house (vaulted
ceilings or other open spaces which collect large
percentages of heat) all are determining factors
of room temperature.
Your stove's performance is also dependant on
its installation.
performance is an oversized chimney flue.
Oversized chimney flues result in decreased
pressure, which prevents the smoke from rising
out the chimney. Oversized flues are also more
difficult to heat effectively, especially when
burning a high efficiency stove.
temperatures inhibit the establishment of a
strong draft (and encourage the accumulation of
creosote). The lack of a strong draft will cause
the fire to die down and may even force the
smoke to spill into the room. If your chimney is
the proper size and a strong draft is not easily
established, there is the possibility of the
chimney being too cold. Again, hot chimneys
promote a stronger draft.
Other draft guidelines are as follows:
AN "AIRTIGHT" HOUSE: If your home is
super-insulated or especially well sealed, the
(infiltration) air supply to the interior of the
house may be inadequate. This phenomenon of
air starvation within the building can be
exacerbated if exhaust fans, such as clothes
dryers, bathroom fans, or cook-stove exhaust
stove
fans, are in operation within the home.
