If you are uncertain of over-firing conditions, we suggest placing a stove thermometer (e.g. Rutland® Model 710) directly over the door on the stove top - temperatures exceeding 800° are generally considered over-firing and will void the warranty. © Travis Industries 100-01234 4141211...

    Excess creosote buildup may cause a chimney fire, that may result in property damage, injury, or death. Operating this appliance continually at a low burn rate (air starvation) or using green (un-seasoned wood) will increase the formation of creosote. © Travis Industries 100-01234 4141211...
