  • Page 14: How To Dry Firewood

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual Wood should be split to a range of sizes, from about 3” to 6” (75 mm to 150 mm) in cross section. Having a range of sizes makes starting and rekindling fires much easier. Often, the firewood purchased from commercial suppliers is not split finely enough for convenient stoking.

  • Page 16: Operating Your Stove

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual Operating Your Stove 4.1 Your First Fires Two things will happen as you burn your first few fires; the paint cures and the internal components of the stove are conditioned. As the paint cures, some of the chemicals vaporize. The vapors are not poisonous, but they do smell bad.

  • Page 17: The Top Down Fire

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual DO NOT LEAVE THE STOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED DURING IGNITION. ALWAYS CLOSE THE DOOR AFTER IGNITION. After the kindling fire has mostly burned, you can add standard firewood pieces until you have a fire of the right size for the conditions.

Do not expect steady heat output from your stove. It is normal for its surface temperature to rise after a new load of wood is ignited and for its temperature to gradually decline as the fire progresses.

  • Page 19: Raking Charcoal

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.3 Raking Charcoal Rekindle the fire when you notice that the room temperature has fallen. You will find most of the remaining charcoal at the back of the firebox, furthest from the door. Rake these coals towards the door before loading.

  • Page 20: Turning Down The Air Supply

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.5 Turning Down the Air Supply Once the firewood, firebox and chimney are hot, you can begin to reduce the air supply for a steady burn. As you reduce the air supply to the fire, two important things happen. First, the firing rate slows down to spread the heat energy in the fuel over a longer period of time.

  • Page 21: Building Different Fires For Different Needs

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.6 Building Different Fires for Different Needs Using the air control is not the only way to match the stove’s heat output to the heat demand. Your house will need far less heat in October than in January to be kept at a comfortable temperature.
  • Page 22 HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 4.3.6.4 Maximum Burn Cycle Times The burn cycle time is the period between loading wood on a coal bed and the consumption of that wood back to a coal bed of the same size. The flaming phase of the fire lasts for roughly the first half of the burn cycle and the second half is the coal bed phase during which there is little or no flame.

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5 Maintaining Your Wood Heating System 5.1 Stove Maintenance Your new stove will give many years of reliable service if you use and maintain it correctly. Some of the internal components of the firebox, such as firebricks, baffles and air tubes, will wear over time under intense heat.

  • Page 24: Door Adjustment

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.3 Door adjustment In order for your stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the firebox. Therefore, the gasket should be inspected periodically making sure to obtain an air tight fit. Air tightness can be improved with a simple latch mechanism adjustment.

  • Page 25: Replacing The Door Gasket

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 5.1.4 Replacing the Door Gasket It is important to maintain the gasket in good condition. After a year or more of use, the door gasket will compress and become hard, which may allow air to leak past it. You can test the condition of the door gasket by closing and latching the door on a strip of paper.

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual The gasket must be centred on the edge of the glass. To do this easily, peel back a section of the paper covering the adhesive and place the gasket on a table with the adhesive side up. Stick the end of the gasket to the middle of one edge, then press the edge of the glass down onto the gasket, taking care that it is perfectly centred on the gasket.

Your new stove has the right characteristics to help you to burn clean fires with little or no smoke, resulting in less creosote in the chimney. 5.2.2 How Often Should You Clean the Chimney?

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 7 Clearances to Combustible Material The clearances shown in this section have been determined by test according to procedures set out in safety standards ULC S627 (Canada) and UL1482 (U.S.A.). When the stove is installed so that its surfaces are at or beyond the minimum clearances specified, combustible surfaces will not overheat under normal and even abnormal operating conditions.

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 7.3 Floor protector Your stove has been conceived to prevent the floor from overheating. However, it must be placed on a noncombustible surface to protect the floor from hot embers that could fall from the stove while loading or cleaning. There are differences between floor protections in Canada and in the United States, as it is illustrated in the table below and on the figure Clearances to combustible materials and floor protection.

  • Page 36: The Venting System

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8 The Venting System 8.1 General The venting system, made up of the chimney and the connecting pipe between the stove and the chimney, acts as the engine that drives your wood heating system. Even the best stove will not function safely and efficiently as intended if it is not connected to a suitable chimney.

  • Page 39: The Relationship Between The Chimney And The House

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8.4 The Relationship Between the Chimney and the House Because the venting system is the engine that drives the wood heating system, it must have the right characteristics. The signs of bad system design are cold backdrafting when there is no fire in the stove, slow kindling of new fires, and smoke roll-out when the door is opened for loading.

  • Page 40: Why The Chimney Should Penetrate The Highest Heated Space

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8.4.2 Why the chimney should penetrate the highest heated space When it is cold outside, the warm air in the house is buoyant so it tends to rise. This tendency of warm air to rise creates a slight pressure difference in the house. Called ‘stack effect’, it produces a slightly negative pressure low in the house (relative to outside) and a...

  • Page 41: Installing The Chimney Connector

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual Some jurisdictions in the United States require that wood stoves have a supply of combustion air from outdoors. If you do install an air supply through the wall of the house, be aware that its pressure can be affected during windy weather. If you notice changes in wood stove performance in windy weather, and in particular if smoke puffs from the stove, you should disconnect the outdoor air duct from the stove and remove the duct.

  • Page 42: Installation Of Single Wall Chimney Connector

    HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual 8.6.1 Installation of Single Wall Chimney Connector The chimney connector assembly has been called ‘the weak link’ in the safety of wood heating systems because failure to install the connector properly (which has been common in the past) can result in house fires.

  • Page 48 HT-2000 Installation and Operation Manual When using the optional fan, allow the stove to reach operating temperature (approximately one hour), before turning it on. The increased airflow from the fan cools the firebox and could affect the start-up combustion efficiency if the fan is turned on too early.
