This stove is designed to burn
wOOD FUEL ONLY.
Hardwood, 18" to 20" should be split and air dried
(seasoned), for 6 months to obtain maximum burning
efficiency. Wood should be stored in a dry, well venti-
lated area.
NOTICE: USE SOLID wOOD mATERIALS ONLY.
DO NOT BURN PELLETS, PRESSED LOGS,
GARBAGE OR FLAmmABLE FLUIDS. DO NOT
USE COAL OR CHARCOAL AS THEY wILL
DESTROY THE FIREBOX.
NOTE: A 2" layer of sand or a layer
of firebrick should be used as bottom
insulation in the Boxwood stove.
LIGHTING
1. Open draft damper fully to provide maximum
draft.
2. Open the feed door and place several wads of
crushed paper in the firebox.
3. Lay small stacks of kindling on the paper to start
the fire.
4. Light the paper and kindling, close the door and
secure tightly.
5. Add fuel after fire is burning briskly. Use care not to
smother the kindling fire when adding wood. Close
the door and secure tightly.
6. Adjust the draft damper and slide draft
control. The more closed the slide draft is set, the
lower and slower the fire will burn. The more open,
the faster and hotter the fire will burn. Do not over-
fire the stove.
ADDING FUEL
Add small amounts of fuel each hour or so
instead of piling large quantities of fuel at one
time. This will ensure a more complete combustion
process and less buildup of tars, soot, or creosote will
occur in the chimney.
1. Always open draft damper before opening the feed
door.
2. When adding fuel be careful not to smother the
fire.
3. Close the feed door and secure tightly.
4. Adjust the damper and slide draft control.
5. Empty ashes regularly. Do not allow ashes to pile
up higher than the top lip of the slide draft.
