Note: When opening the front door to reload or re-
arrange logs, it is advisable to open the door just a
crack, pause for a moment then open the door
completely. This procedure allows the firebox to
clear of smoke before the door is open fully. In
addition, reloading on a bed of hot, red coals
reduces smoking time and brings fresh fuel up to a
high temperature rapidly.

LOW BURN: Move the air control lever all the way
to the right. (see figure 14). This closes the air
shutter to its minimum opening. A low burn rate over
extended periods is not advisable as it can promote
the accumulation of creosote. Inspect the venting
system frequently if
consistently.

Figure 14 AIR CONTROL POSITIONS
MEDIUM LOW BURN: With the primary air control
in the low position, lightly tap the lever to the left (a
little less than 1/16"). A medium-low burn rate is the
typical setting and is preferable if the stove is
unattended. At this burn rate a little goes a long way.
MEDIUM HIGH BURN: With the primary air control
in the low position, move the air control lever to the
left about 3/8".
HIGH BURN: Completely open the primary air
control by moving it all the way to the left. Fully load
the firebox with wood on a bed of hot coals or on an
actively flaming
accumulation, run the stove on high once or twice
daily for 35 to 45 minutes to fully heat the stovepipe
and chimney.
