G. Building A Fire

Before lighting your ﬁrst ﬁre in the stove:

1.Conﬁrm the bafﬂe is correctly positioned. It should be even with the front tube and resting on all tubes. Figure 28.1.

2.Follow instructions on page 32 for cleaning plated sur- faces, if applicable.

3.Remove all labels from glass.

There are many ways to build a ﬁre. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which ignites the fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites the slow-burning ﬁrewood. Here is one method that works well:

1.Open the Burn Rate Air and Start-Up Air Controls fully.

2.Place several wads of crushed paper on the ﬁrebox ﬂoor. Heating the ﬂue with slightly crumpled newspaper before adding kindling keeps smoke to a minimum.

3.Lay small dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.

4.Make sure that no matches or other combustibles are in the immediate area of the appliance. Be sure the room is adequately ventilated and the ﬂue unobstructed.

5.Light the paper in the appliance. NEVER light or rekindle ﬁre with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal lighter ﬂuid; the results can be fatal.

6.Once the kindling is burning quickly, add several full- length logs 3 inches (76mm) or 4 inches (102mm) in diameter. Be careful not to smother the ﬁre. Stack the pieces of wood carefully; near enough to keep each other hot, but far enough away from each other to allow adequate air ﬂow between them.

7.Set the Burn Rate Air Control and activate the timer system (ACC).

8.When ready to reload, It is best to fully open both the Burn Rate Air and Start-up Air Controls before reload- ing. This livens up the coalbed and reduces excessive emissions (opacity/smoke). Open door slowly so that ash or smoke does not exit appliance through opening. Large logs burn slowly, holding a ﬁre longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.

9.As long as there are hot coals, repeating steps 6 through 8 will maintain a continuous ﬁre throughout the season.

NOTE:

•Build ﬁre on brick ﬁrebox ﬂoor.

•Do NOT use grates, andirons or other methods to support fuel.

It will adversely affect emissions.
