Open the fuel door about ½” (1.5 cm) and hold in this position until the fireplace is drafting well. Open the fuel door and add wood. If the fire or coal bed is almost depleted and a full load of wood is added, it may be necessary to adjust the air intake control wide open to reestablish a lively fire.
